Newhouse Texas Specials Value - 08/13/19 12:08 AM

I read over a half a page in Tom Parr’s newest book about Texas Specials. It was in the section on government traps. Very informative, but I couldn’t find an estimated value of them. Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Good question - I tried to look up mine in Parr's book also as well as a couple of old Vance guides and came up short too. I keep a log of ebay auctions on some models just for later reference but things get so crazy there I don't know how accurate that log really is when it comes to actual trap value. The Texas Special's I have seen over the last year have gone from around $150 to as high as $350 (varied condition / completeness / govt stamps). I guess value really depends on how bad somebody else wants it though...

Deerhunter51...or anyone else could you post a pic of a stock Texas Special. I'd be interested to see one stock.

If you go to page 180 in Parr’s book, there’s a whole page of Newhouse jaws including a Texas Special, but no prices!

Here's pics of one that sold here on the forum a little while back, no government markings.
