#1Hello everyone out there! I just had a quick question about a set of Peerless model 700s chain cuffs I have. I was wondering if they were worth anything. If not I don't care, they are still fun to have!
They were marked pat pend which I assume it means, patent pending, and other people who have them have patented ones. The serial number is 16516. I was hoping they were worth something since they were patent pending. Let me know if they are or aren't. Thanks for your time. Have a good day or night.
Sincerely,

To paraphrase a quote from the classic comedy "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd...
Pawnbroker: I'll give you 20 bucks for it.
Louis Winthorpe III: Twenty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Peerless Model 700. The thinnest water-resistant handcuff in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Springfield, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports cuff of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?
Louis Winthorpe III: Look, it's worth THOUSANDS in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia, it's worth 20 bucks.
Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.
[looking in display case]
Louis Winthorpe III: How much for the gun?

In the comment posted by anonymous it said something about a guy trying to sell handcuffs for $6,950 and I said I wish thats how much I could get out of them. Hope that clears the confusion.

It still doesn't make sense. No where did it mention $6.000+ until handcuff collector said it. silly!

Ian, if you read it the 6,000 figure is spelled out in words so it's easy to miss. It's a quote from a goofy movie from the 80s.
I've never had a pats pend model 700 so I can't say on that. Does the cuff say model 700 on it?

Yes, it says on the right-hand cuff 700B. I just got them in the mail yesterday from handcuff warehouse.
