Thats total BS!!!They were making them by the thousands and thousands!Not as limited release!!If they are worth that(and they are not.....I am rich!!!!)It is semi unique in that it has the round base,which was called a Pole Gin....I have a Pole trap that there are only a handful of known examples that I dont think is worth $600?Now the BIG bear traps....thats a different story

Thats a dandy Matt,I would hold onto it!!Antique Traps are one of the few investments I made in the past that have actually doubled in what I paid for some

Matt,first of all I need to rescind my "BS",call.....that was wrong of me,not knowing is there a makers mark anywhere?Anything on the pan?Its odd that your friend had a specific number?More would need to be known....I apologize.
The other underspring....I should have known,as I have a couple is a Newhouse #91/2 Jump,the first double jaw and was pat 1912.A great trap,and may be worth a little.Post some pics of any others ya have,I love old traps.....I dont see how it can be called bragging so when I get a chance I will put some up of a couple I have
