Just wondering if collectors want the Newhouse # 4 & #3 cleaned before I sell them. I have a few to sale.

NO, all collectors are different, some like their traps uncleaned and some cleaned. You should never do more than wash off the dirt and let the collector clean the trap the way he likes. In my opinion, less is better. You never want to remove the patina from a trap. The patina is the brown color that metal gets from age.

OK. Dad has a Electrolysis machine he used to keep his traps looking like new! Great I will just wash them. Unless thay want more!
Thanks
