#1I have 2 old sets of handcuffs, One appears to be a Tower, but there are no marks and no key. the other is Stamped Marlin Firearms Co. New Haven Ct
and this set has a key. I would love to get more info as to the age of them, is a key available for the missing one and what they might be worth.
Thank you

#2Hello , you have a very nice set of marlin bottleneck 1910 second model handcuffs. The Marlins wether the 1879 1st or second model like yours are highly desirable and always sell fast. If your bottlenecks are in working condition they have recently sold from 300 to 500 dollars. I consider the Marlins a symbol of the old west and must have for any vintage cuff collector.
The tower cuffs are in pretty bad shape and they made tons of them. I have a mint condition set of double lock towers that I paid less than 150 dollars for. A locksmith would likely charge you 40 to 60 dollars to make a key.
