newhouse offset with teeth #4

I looked in tom Parrs book and only found 1 time period when that trap was made.1882-95.However the pan markings indicate 1937-66. #4 raised pan.I am guessing.someone changed the pan.Also one spring seems a little newer than the other. A little bigger and thicker.

ifvanyone can estimate a value that would be great

Defiantly a put together trap. You have parts from different time periods.

Yes snake collector is correct it's pieced together. Doesn't make it worth a whole lot to collectors. However I've seen garbage traps like that do 150-280 $ at local farm / antique auctions.

thanx guys i thought that itwas pieced together as well.Is that chain correct for the offset jaws with teeth era?

“Garbage”?

Chain is probably original to trap minus connector link to ring and obviously pan was replaced. Good wall hanger or user trap. Enjoy!

Pieced together yes, not a collectable trap imo.
