#1Another cuff NOT to purchase unless you collect this sort of thing.
This seller is selling an "authentic P.O.S." and claiming:
THIS AUCTION IS FOR AN AUTHENTIC ANTIQUE PAIR OF SOLID CAST IRON HANDCUFFS #147 FROM THE HISTORICAL WYOMING FRONTIER PRISON IN RAWLINGS THAT ONCE HOUSED INMATES FROM 1901-1981 COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL WORKING KEY #147.
These hand cuffs are a remnant of the grizzly past of the old west. Wyoming Frontier Prison Rawlings which was known to be a gruesome prison closed its doors to the last inmate in 1981. It is now preserved as a historical museum & displays part of the old west wild ways as they used to be years ago. These handcuffs are solid cast iron with the numbers #147 on both the handcuffs as well as the cast iron key. A brass plate is clearly readable WYOMING FRONTIER PRISON RAWLINGS. Side to side they measure 11 & 1/2" wide by 3".. They are authentic & not a modern copy. Working key turns to open them well. Who knows whose wrists these handcuffs have secured...just a great piece of the Wild Old West's history. They are being sold with NO RESERVE.($125)

The design is different from the usual junk that clogs the pages of eBay.
These have a bulkier end cap than a real darby cuff.
A Folsom Prison variation of the same cuff exists
Both have the same font stle (Algerian) and would be way too elaborate for a prison to feature.
The expense to produce a name plate with fancy engraving on it is not something a prison would allocate funds for.
Bidder/Buyer Beware!
