Does anyone know how the M-94 Cipher Devices (AKA CSP-488) were made?

I should have one with me.

It took me an hour to get these photos posted. Not sure where the problem is.

Anyway, we had a great time at Indy. We got to look for some hidden treasurers at local antique malls on Friday before the show. No handcuffs to speak of but lots of other good stuff.

The attendance seemed better this year for the lock side of the show. There was a story pad lock collection at the show for sale ($65,000). Not sure if it sold.

We missed some of our handcuff collectors that couldn't make it but as always the lock collectors were very nice. We are part of the family at Indy and Lancaster.

Mark Lundblad was one of the guest speakers at the banquet and did a great job.

Overall it was a wonderful time and hopefully everyone will be there next year.

I had a great time and did miss so many of the regulars who normally attend.
Thank you Damon for picking me up from the airport, finalizing a Faygo quest, taking me to the fabulous antique malls and for showing me some cuffs that I had no idea that existed.

The show was not a handcuff collectors delight, minus what Damon brought but these was so many quality items to look and learn about.



A couple of mini 17th century pirate chests





This Story Lock collection won 3rd place



This collection was not finalized but was "assumed" to be sold at 65K



1875 Time Lock



Yale Time Lock



1888 S&G Time Lock



1887 Time Lock



Not for sale ER Locks which includes a "Leg Iron" sized example and absolutely NO evidence of it ever being from a set of leg irons. I have more pics of this which does support my assumption that these were made in this size for padlocking a large chain or something to a post and not intended as a leg iron. It was thought that ALL single ER's this size were separated from a broken leg iron. I don't believe this to be the case after seeing this one.|
The key which had a "5" stamped has the spanner wrench on top of the key. The padlock once had a plug (now missing) that operated the same as a figure 8 cuff.






A beautiful Castle Lock that I was able to get up close to.

It was nice to see Mark Lundblad, Charles Chandler, Karl Grice, and many of the non cuffs guys at the show.
Thanks to all for another wonderful time!

Chris,

Please consider the Lancaster show in July.

They moved the show from the lousy, dirty, stinky, miserable and disgusting hotel to a much nicer one across the street.
There should be more cuff collectors there and the area is so beautiful with so much to see and do.

Please consider joining us.
