found a few today

got the nicest stop thief trap Ive ever seen today the small size
great lettering on it
OC STOP THIEF TRAP #1

A hawley norton with a #3 canadian newhouse spring on it

2 #14 patten dates with split posts
and a #31/2 patten date

Nice stuff! Where are the pictures?

The camera I threw in the trash
Its about what I thought of it
Maybe I''l get a new one for christmas

I don't do pics either. I found a pretty nice
PS&W Co #3 at a garage sale for $10. Kinda unusual
to find traps in Austin Tx., especially good ones.

Are traps hard to find in Texas?
I use to live in Oklahoma and remember seeing lots of traps at flea markets and ranches. And Oklahoma had harsh laws on trapping.

Not in Texas. Just in anti-everything Austin,
Which BTW is really close to Texas.
