I've got a pair of Hiatt Irish 8's. They are in good condition with the original key with matching number, pitting but good. They are marked with the number and Hiatt, but nothing else. Can anyone give me a rough area date-wise?

Your cuffs could have been made almost any time during the 19th or early 20th centuries. If you send a picture I might be able to make a better guess. But I emphasize the word "guess". These things are really hard to date.

Thanks Joe
I thought as much myself, with no records left Hiatt can't even date these things themselves, which is a real shame. If I can I'll get a picture taken.
