Looks well enough made

Thanl you, Sir!

You, Sir, are very much appreciated. Simply... Thank you very much! ☺

Thanks for your input, Sir! Here are some more pics off the auction, and a pic of the 1894 Bean patent...

Sad the man is gone That website page is really good, I'm glad it somehow manages to not be taken off. Good source ☺

Just received my set in the mail today. Nice addition to my eclectic collection for only 20 bucks ☺

Oops, sorry for the typo above... The models, based on patent dates, are the 1910, 1951, and the 1964 ☺

Received the cuffs, and all seems pretty legit, except for the two keys. Either one, or neither is correct, but they are different from each other.

Last time I counted, I have about 60 or so displays that house my eclectic collection. Here are a few pics showing an example of what I mean...

As the title asks, can the Argus Iron Claw serial number be a way of finding out the year it was made? Thanks in advance ☺

In my more recent decision to include more restraints into my collection, the Nippers seem to have become my favorites in that field. Here are a few of them...

Thanks for your insight I do still wonder if there are any other forums online that pertains to collecting and such of these items? Thanks again for taking the time to express your views…

I have a feeling it was the State that was behind it. I don't know exactly where it was decided, but I do know that the tracking was fine, up until it arrived…

I do enjoy these videos, thanks for placing them up for us! ☺ I thought my 1974 vintage Peerless were late #3 model cuffs, but this video has me wondering if they are model 300…

Thanks, folks ☺ As for the whistles in my collection, they are police, referee, taxi calling, dog, and other types. Again, no focus, just eclectic. I also collect sand timers, magnifying glasses, brass knuckles, truncheons…

Thanks, you guys are awesome! Btw, based on the photo I was able to share here, is this specimen that I have coming my way, an older version, or the later version? Also, what…

I have noticed that s few pics of Dowler nippers I have come across online, have the stamp as "W. Dowler", where as the one I have coming my way is stamped "Dowler" only…

I know that Peerless started off by not actually making their own cuffs, but rather by contracting S&W and others to make the cuffs for them. My question is... Did Peerless ever actually…

Here is one source for the 1774 establishment date of the Dowler firm, (if in fact it's one and the same with the name on my incoming nippers). If so, they seem to…

Wondering if anyone knows the history of the N.B. Kayser company? I'm hoping to find out what years they were in business, or at least what years they were known to be…

I was reading that the Jay Pee company reset the serial number range when they took over the production of the Iron Claw. I wonder how high the serial number range reached with the…

Well, I sent an email to the seller to ask him what the #2 meant in his description, and it simply was that he was selling a few of them, and this one was…

These Hiatt nippers are on their way to me. I am again sharing a photo of it I downloaded from the website I purchased them from. And, I am again seeking to see if…

So, I did a look up online for the Harvard Lock Company, and although items like restraints & Navy Bells popped up, nothing about the company's history did. Can anybody here share with me…

I have so many items in my collection, I would not be able to just choose any one item. Here is just one example of the diversity of these items. It shows a butterscotch…

Thanks for the input, guys. Well, I guess I will have to accept that I may never know any of this company' history. I imagine the Reading PA info on the boxes and paperwork…
