See you there Bruce. Roger

Great , Roger, I hope these lower gas prices bring more people from farther away.Bruce

Lower gas prices will certainly help Bruce. Your show is one of the best year after year. Hope we can still buy guns this year.

Any chances of a Savaleg #110 being there?

Pennsylvania? I wonder if Ed Hutzel will be there? Would be cool to meet Ed, in person.

I don't know if he has ever attended, I ask him too come a few years ago, he was very busy could not come.Bruce

Some guys are into guns please come and check out our gun guys.Friday May 6, 2016

greyfox..how do you get your traps to stand up like that?....put starch on the chains...lol...

I have seen Savalegs at the show in the past.All welcome to this event.Bruce

Looks like a great show... Just curious though- why is it on a Friday?

Because ,many of the dealers have long drives to get here.I know it does not make sense.Alot go to other Shows on the next day.Used to have it 2 days,it would cost double for building rental.Thus doubling table fees.So it's first Friday in May each year.Bruce

Only 5 weeks to the Show.Call to get your tables before their all gone. 1-607-426-6276 after 5 pm Bruce

Just had a call from a dealer that has a bunch of Canadian Newhouse Traps.He coming to the show a first time dealer here.Bruce

I am getting excited we will have a great amount of antique traps coming to the Show this year.inside tables will be filling up fast.Call me Bruce McCormick 1-607-426-6276 after 5 pm is best,or Bill Kasten 1-570-278-2553 to get your Tables saved. With gas prices low again I hope we get more Dealers and Collectors.This is our 23 rd. year Orwell, Pa. North American Trap Collectors Association

Orwell Pa. 2016 Bear Traps always show up at this Show

Thanks for the pictures Bruce, they are always great to see, but they just aren't the same as being there and one of these days we [Nhousecattrapper and I] are going to make the trip from Missouri to Orwell for the show. By the looks of the pictures it does look like a good time and looks like there are some dandy traps. Thanks again for the pictures Bruce.

Sure hope that Bruce and Kevin can make it out here sometime.Orwell Show is a sleeper Show,what I mean is that it has had some amazing traps show up in the past.Ron Frodeluis use to come down from Syracuse Ny, he had the best stuff.rare traps that you never knew existed.Alot of the pics that killercollector took where traps hat I did not see.It's funny how Traps can be missed at a Show,maybe they sold before I went by there tables.Bruce

Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like a really good show. Lots of traps and a fair number of people.

Good Job!!
