This is a rare S. Newhouse Oneida Community, N.Y. No. 4 1/2 Wolf and Bear Trap from Henry Wombacher's Fly Fishing & Sporting Goods Shop in Dillon, Montana (called Wombacher Fly Co). Henry's Shop was open from circa 1920-1960. The top of the jaw is marked, "Henry Wombacher". The trap is from circa 1865-1888 and shows good rare condition. This trap was made during the life of Sewell Newhouse and most likely handmade by Newhouse himself. Springs are marked Newhouse also. The Wombacher Fly Co. was in existence from early 1900 to 1960. Trap is 23.75”L with a 3.25” pan. Has a 4 foot hand forged link chain.
