TRYING TO IDENTIFY THESE HANDCUFFS. HELP

Hi. I recently purchased this pair of handcuffs at a swap meet, and am trying to identify them and find out what they are worth. There isn't much on them. There is a name is stamped into it: J SAMSON (but I assume this is the owner). There are TWO pat'd dates. Looks like JUNE 17 '62 and JUly 17 '66??? This could also be 86 and 82, the stamp is blurry. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I bought them cause they looked cool and I wanted something to hang next my holster, but it would be nice to know what they are worth. For all I know they are fakes, but they seem realm- certainly have a patina and age - altho I know nothing about handcuffs. Thanks again for any help you can give.

You have a pair of Tower single locking handcuffs.

Kinda high end on the price, (my opinion)

Wow, that does seem a little high. Is there something I'm missing on this particular pair? Cheers to the seller though!

I agree with you Atlanta*casting, seems a bit high for a single lock barrel key tower...
