I don't think even the patent drawings have a clearer picture of these cuffs. They are in splendid condition. However, the auction will not allow one to save the pictures as displayed. Is there any way (Joe?) to get these pics into this forum? It may be the closest we may get to these cuffs. Thanks.

Does anyone have and willing to share a picture of an original
key to the wisner handcuffs?

joe tanner 22 Apr 2008

key is pretty simple... like the old suitcase key... just a small double bit... almost any double bit key will work.... joe

Thanks for the info Joe T.

Makes me wonder why someone who frequently lists rare and high end priced
handcuffs wouldn't have aquired a key for these to show that they work...

Congratulations Joe on aquiring this superb set of cuffs. They went just a little over what I had budgeted, but I am glad they went to a good home. Well Done.

The cuffs arrived in the mail and they are just as nice in person as they were in the pictures. They will certainly be one of prize items in my collection.

Thanks to all who sent their good wishes.

Joe,
Congratulations. I'll never forget Fred and I pacing around
more than you were during the last 4 minutes of the auction.
Glad we convinced you to throw in one more bid. Hopefully
I'll have a key for you soon. GREAT cuff. John

I owe you a Fred thanks for making the purchase possible. I had given up because I thought the bid was destined to go even higher. I am glad you let me know where the bid was standing and I am very pleased that Fred had his computer up and running.

I can make about one purchase like this per year. Now I have nothing to spend for about the next 8 months.

Joe,
It thats your one purchase, thats OK. I'd be thrilled with
one purchase like that!! I talked you into it to give the
rest of us a chance at the Kimbals, Guiteaus, and Houstons
that are about to show up. hahaha. Seriously, happy to help,
and congratulations. There are less than 10 of these around,
and that truly makes it a RARE handcuff. A Wisner recently
sold at an flee market in MIchigan for $200 so that one is
either the one you just bought, or there may be an eighth one
out there. John
