Even A Blind Dog

Finds A Bone Once In A While...
Bought this #2 as a parts trap for the stamped springs....
Thought the chain was a little odd being it looked galvanized. Another collector pointed something out that I probably would never have noticed!

very cool never seen a stamped chain

Nice! Is every link stamped? I've seen a picture somewhere of link stampings like that but can't find it now - I looked in my old reprint 1893 Oneida / American Chains catalog but it's not in there. Now I got to go looking at chains...

Only one link stamped.. I had heard this was sometimes found on Hawley & Norton traps. Will fit right in with the little repair link..

Nice find Dale, yes, they are also on Hawley & Norton traps. I have only ever seen it on the #2 size chain.

Love the repair link.

You are the luckiest.......nice find!

About time to make an appointment with the eye doctor.....

That is cool. One more thing to look for when buying/selling Newhouse traps.

I have a #2 Newhouse with stamped chain. The trap is in perfect shape too. I wonder if the stamp brings the value up much

Any chance of posting a pic of that chain. The one I have looks to have a galvanized coating. I have only seen that coating on the Victor "Alaskan Specials", which were made much later.
I would think the OC stamped links would add a little value but more of a novelty item in my opinion..

Have never saw that before...,very nice!
