I recently have come upon a pair of vintage handcuffs. They belonged to an elderly woman who lived next door to me. When she passed away, all of her belongings were left to me.

These handcuffs have the key, and they work great. They have 'T.W Mulry' engraved into the locking area.

I just wanted to inquire about if these are of value. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Paul,

What you have is a pair of Tower Detective model. Their value can range from $100 to around $300 depending on the buyer. There are currently 3 or 4 on for sale Ebay you may want to check out.

Thanks for your response.

Is there a 'Tower' marking somewhere on the cuffs that I can look for? Will probably try to sell these, and just want to be informative to the potential buyers.

Thanks very much for your help.

Paul--These are Tower Detective or Pinkerton cuffs. There is no marking by the manufacturer. Mulry had his name engraved which to me gives it a personal touch.

There are several on eBay at this time. It is a good cuff and collectors will determine the price at auction.
