Sold!

WHY is HE listed?!

Where are you located?

Item has SOLD.

Thumbcuff "F" - has been sold. Thanks.

Brad Darling - this one's for you ......

Hello Tim, if you are still on this Forum, I'd like to get in touch with you. ---Joe Fox

Peerless is SOLD.

I guess you're referring to the hinged Model #200?

Thanks for the article, Michael!

Hi: Just curious...do those handcuffs take a "standard" key?

Don't believe everything you see..especially when its on the internet.

I'd say about $15. Look on a chain-link for "Taiwan" or "Japan"

Michael: Ha---You're a funny guy! Btw--I remember about 15 years ago when a Los Angeles auction house ("Butterfields") had a big collection of Elvis items...and I bid on a pair…

I'd say: $10 -$15 New & in box...$20. They're just Japan/Taiwan imports.

I'd say a nice pair in box, with keys...is in the $130-$150+ range.

Norman: I have witnessed an individual "knocking-off" this cuff's double-lock against a hard surface.

Why?--so that you can copy all of their security features - for your own handcuffs & benefit?

Does anyone have a number count on them ??? LK D~D I have a Lilly Iron handcuff

Darby handcuff model of Mark Cannon's "19th Century Seance Cuff". If you have one to sell (+ the instructions)...let me know. Thanks. --Joe Fox

Yep--that's them! (aka "Tower Pinkertons") (not to be confused with the cheaper "imitation" unofficial model)

Since HOUDINI didn't drive a car...this is obviously a rare photo of how he locked up his bicycle.

With both keyholes facing your body, and the bows on the bottom...that designates "left" & "right" cuffs.

Does the serial number have a "letter" preceeding it? Or is there a "letter" stamped anywhere on the cuffs?

Notice the "1927" date. I forget why it's not "1926" (year he died) - can someone explain?

Funny. Its taking a nice jab at the so-called Houdini/Handcuff expert, Murray - from Pawn Stars.

FYI: Just noticed a pair of "Mitts" up for auction this week. Appear to be in good shape.

Does anyone know when american munitions moved from Chicago to wis. I cant seem to find a company history anywhere. Thanks, Jason.
