Any trap collectors?

Can you post pics of the jaws? I don't think the #4 Newhouse came in offset. Wondering if it could be modified or a #14(toothed #4) that's had a #4 pan added and teeth removed.
 
No bids though. The springs on the one I have are ridiculously strong. I’ve got a couple bobcats in it but I’ve gotten away from long springs as it’s tough hold a catch pole and undo a long spring when I catch a female I want to turn loose
 
I know four #4 Newhouse just sold for $250 on trapperman with some chain , shock springs, and drags added on. Definitely worth at least $50. They were not government marked traps. I sent the photos to my trapping mentor he is pretty knowledgeable about old traps. Said those #4 newhouse made by Animal Trap Co Lititz Pa for the government aren't to uncommon. But he's never seen offset jaws like that on one.
