Lots of the used Newhouse 3s and 4s that I see have slight modifications or barely readable pans. Both of which affect collector value. On rare traps, those issues can be overlooked. # 3 and # 4 Newhouse are not rare. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

If they are real nice in collector condition the 3s still have a tough time breaking 30 and the 4s about 40.

Made after 1925. Pans are VERY GOOD at best, in my opinion. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
