Tim is correct. The one short bow has been cut off and limits the size to a smaller diameter. A standard single bit key should work. If there is no movement of the bows I would spry them with a good oil like PT Blaster or WD 40.Take a look at these cuffs. A deputy asked me if I could open them but I'm having trouble because I think the action is very stiff so I'd like to locate a key if reasonably priced. They are VERY small, almost like for a child or woman and there are no markings.Click to expand...
Anybody know the brand or what these are?

Once I got these opened, I saw the markings, "patent applied for". Does this mean it's one of the first models of Adams?Take a look at these cuffs.

HI MATE WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO MAKE A KEY FOR A PAIR OF ALCYON STAR HANDCUFFS THE FLAT TYPE KIND REGARDSHI,Click to expand...
I stock Adams keys on behalf of Ian McColl. I have taken the remaining stock of Cannon's McColl key stock, added some of my own to it, and will supply
handcuff keys to most of the older handcuffs. Some of the keys are lost-wax cast, which is an expensive process. But, The keys look identical to the originals, and I do have Marlins, Bean Giants, Tower Beans, Stotz, Rankins, and a Lilly iron key left - all lost wax cast. Other keys are made individually, or from blanks Ian has managed to acquire. If anyone needs keys, please email me. Tower, Mattatuck, Bean, Meuhlenfeld Barmen, Dollar
cuffs..... I do have a lot of keys. Darby Keys can be made, but the handcuffs must be sent to me to try the different keys that may operate the cuff.
A few times I've had to custom make the key.
Tim, if you need the key for the Adams, please email me.
Thanks, John Bushey
