I don't have much of a collection. I always look at the traps I find in flea markets. If I find one that I haven't seen before, I'll buy it. If the price is right...

So far just a #14 Newhouse and a Victor 21.5 "shoulder catch."

I knew the Newhouse would have some collector value, but I just thought it was cool. The 21.5 was just something I had never seen so I bought it.

#14 Newhouse for me too. Something about traps with teeth that blows what little hair I have back. Especially offset with teeth.

It was either a Triumph Kangaroo No.1-XK Triple Clutch or a Gibbs Two Trigger. I might have gotten them both at the same time, but can't remember for sure.

Mine were old traps that I set out on creeks that were stolen. I finally stopped setting out traps that I knew had collector value and started collecting them and hanging them on a wall at my camp.

Mine was a # 81 Newhouse that I acquired with a bunch of other # 1 Victors in about 1964 for muskrat trapping. I just thought at the time it was just a different type of trap, with no thought of what I had. Set these out in some rather high theft areas and it survived.

This old newhouse beartrap started my collection.I don't go out of my way to buy and sell,but I keep my eyes and ears open and buy when something turns up locally.
I kind of like the bear and wolftraps,but will pick up anything odd like this Milan Novak footsnare from the 70's still in the bag.

Many years ago was given a Tree Trap. Sadly I sold everything to Oscar Cronk when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. Not long ago I decided to collect a few. I have a NH 4 1\2 on my desk I got as a gift, and now I'm at it again.

It is like alcoholism- you cant just try it again- you are hooked as soon as you start, whether it is the first, or next, time!
