Rare Cuff Picture Collection

Hi.
Fred sent me a link to a great collection of cuffs. There are some very rare never seen before cuffs. The site is a little difficult to navigate through, but well worth it. There is a slide presentation as well as a thumbnail viewing. It seems that the host changes the museum site periodically so check it out while it accessible.

Look for a rare Hamburg 8 in there. Wish I had one like it....oh yeah, I do have one!
Another interesting leg iron is the Tower with Bean style swivels. Stan is the proud owner of one just like it and it could be possible that his IS it!

If anyone know who owned this collection, please let us know.
Enjoy.

Interesting stuff.


Does any one know about cuff #33 in the list, the one marked F. J. Schielk?

And #93 - Lowell combination cuff and twister is interesting. I have one of them, but have never identified it.

Here is my picture.

I found it quite interesting and one of the many things I noticed was that several pairs of Hamburg 8's had different keys including one that looked like 1st & 2nd model Peerless keys. I am also guessing the pictures were originally film and transferred to digital which might account for some blurring. But none the less quite informative!

Griffin:
I think you are referring to picture number 33. It is the F. J. Schiele patent. There is a patent #670,251 of March 19, 1901 to Fred J. Schiele, but I've never seen a real cuff before this picture showed up.

Your eyes are better than mine. I read the last letter as a "K" instead of an "E".

Here is the patent drawing.

I doubt that these old eyes are any better than yours. I just made a connection to the patent and then went and looked for it.

Can anyone identify #182. The key looks like the key to an H&R Super. I have a Hugo Stanley cuff that uses a H&R Super key, but this one is different.

And what date would you put on these pictures? Does anyone see a cuff that would be later than the mid 1950s? There are cuffs from the early 1950s.

Some of the Star cuffs, toy cuffs and the Thum Cuff might be late 50's - 60's.
These are the most recent items in the collection as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have that particular pair of McKenzie mitts?
They should be identifiable. Might give us a clue if we knew who has them and where he or she got them.
Joe the H and R key cuffs looks Russian or surrounding areas to me. Could be Finland.
