A set of hand forged blacksmith made leg irons with one side not linked to the connecting chain. Likely the chain was cut off one side. Both anklets appear to be bent out of shape.

I am going to guess mid 1800's and I put the padlock about 1917 era.

The lock is worth about $5.00 on a good day as it is a common model and the irons in this cut apart and bent shape are worth about $50.00 to the right buyer.

Cheers, Steve Santini
