I am a Photographer in Phoenix and really think a set of vintage handcuffs would work well for a photoshoot I have scheduled for Friday. Looking at the image summary of cuffs found on this website, I particularly like some of the ones from the European 1800s.

The photos that I will be taken are not set in the past per se - just that something not so modern day would bring out some unique ambiguity to the symbolism.

I would prefer to simply rent, as opposed to buy for this one-time use. Is there anyone that has a collection that could help?

Thank you,
Christian

I would love to be the one to help you with this, but I am in San Diego.
Ron Spitz resides in Phoenix and has a nice collection.
He frequents these pages and will most likely contact you.
I used to have an interesting lock collection and some of my pieces were featured on saving and loan brochures and the like.
I would love for my Caveney or Spanish-Takeda style cuffs to be included in your photo work, but will do what ever to get you a close contact for you or whatever else I can do for you.
