I am getting my stuff ready and I am psyched! This lock show is going to be AWESOME with so many cuff collectors there! I can't wait!!!

I have handcuffs, leg irons, medical restraints, locking belt buckles, combo and keyed padlocks, Locksmith books and tools, police items, and more for sale or trade. I will also have a huge display area (items for viewing but not for sale or trade unless you have more money than Gene Simmons and throw insane cash offers at me) so come on over and see me!

Hi everyone,
I, too, am really getting excited to see all my friends, and make some new ones as well. I will be bringing
some keys for handcuffs, from Ian McColl's stock, so if you need keys see me when you're there.
I have the following:

Mattatuck
Marlin
Bean Giant
Boer War Plug 8
Cavaney
Bean Patrolman, prison, and Detective (and bean blanks if you'd like to file your own)
Tower Bean
Tower Blanks, and some Tower keys filed to fit my Towers
H & R Super
1912 Peerless
Iver Johnson
Adams
+ more........ (Also one batcuff of Ians, and two Hilliard handcuffs)

Also, my McKenzie Mitts books are out, and I will have 15 copies at Indy, plus the last 6 copies of my Lorey book,
as well as some other paper. What a great turn out it looks like we're going to have there. It's only a few weeks away, and I will see everyone
there. I'll do my best to have another book on the French Lettercuff done. It is done, but I may not have them back from the binder by then.
Best Wishes, John

I wish I could be going to Indy!! I thought there was a slim chance I'd be going, but some recent emergency dental work has tapped me out for quite a while!

Hello,
Indy is almost upon us. I hope (and KNOW) we will see many restraints there this year.
Well over 100, my guess closer to 150. Many for sale, some for display. The after-dinner talk this year is about two restraints as well. Anyone want to come last minute??? I know we'll have a great turn out:
Terry Roses, Karl Grice, Joe Lauher, Mark Lyons, Joshua and Sarah Ohlmeier, myself, Gordon
Gluff, Elliot Cutler, Fred Pittella, Bruce Thompson, Damon Shields, Charles Chandler, Mauri
Willis, Ron Spitz, Michael Busch, Mark Lundblad, The Amazing Michael, Paul Reardon, and I heard Joe Guinte, and a newcomer from Kansas City are also coming. Thats 21 collectors! OK -- if my math is right that's about 5 cuffs/person to buy from the 100 for sale we know of. Rules are no one buys there own cuffs back. And, for all those cuffs for sale, I'll have the keys for quite a few of them.
I'm bringing a lot of stuff, thanks to my friend Mark who is driving it all down for me. Last time I returned from visiting Mark my car frame broke in half from the weight of two safes I bought from him. I hope it holds until I get to his place this weekend to deliver the "goods". Most not for sale (including a certain Bean Giant), but some up for grabs.

See everyone there.

Best Wishes, John

Yes, and that will be just my two tables! LOL! But seriously, I will have about that many on display and/or for sale. It's gonna be a blast!

Spare a thought for those of us on the other side of the world who cannot make it.

If anyone has a Sheffield key Darby or any old English neck collar for sale, please let me know.

While you guys are enjoying your time around all sorts of neat handcuffs, I will be wishing I had handcuffs to control the teenagers I will be supervising at my son's birthday party!

Hi everyone,

as my way to Indy is a little longer I will start it this evening. I will go to my parents where I will spend the night, and my father will take me to the airport where my plane will depart on thursday at noon. If everything works out fine I will be in Indy on thursday in the early evening.

Best wishes, see you there,

Michael

Hi all,

This time I couldn't make it and it's a shame! I'm envious, no doubt!
Michael will be the representative for all European collectors and he will do it well.

I hope all of you will have a great time (and I know you will)!
Please take lots of pictures and post them here!!!

Now, have a really great Convention!

Best wishes,

Lars

Wondering if anyone is arriving Friday at about 4PM. I will be arriving then and hope to catch a ride with another conventioneer.
I appreciate getting a ride as the other choice would be a taxi as there is no shuttle service available.
I also do not want to inconveniece anyone by having to make a special effort to pick only me up.
I do not know how many miles the airport is from the hotel or how long it takes.
Any help is appreciated.

I just arrived by car a day early, from AZ. The weather has been great. The hotel does not have a shuttle service so the best way is by cab or car. The traffic in the area is bad and there is a lot of road construction. The weather forecast for Friday afternoon is RAIN.
There are several arriving Friday afternoon so I would suggest contacting each other and plan to meet at a common area of the airport.

If anyone should get stuck or can't find a ride give me a shout (ohlmeier83@hotmail.com). I arrived about 30 minutes ago and will be here through the weekend.

Ron, if you get bored hit me up. Room 207

And it turns out that the large handcuff contains many nice pieces from the Willis collection.
