Mark Lyons O--O Cuffs
#1Hi Brainiacs,
I finally stepped into the 20/21st century.
If you have ever met me, I probably had my 10 pound photo album with me which had pics of my handcuff collection.
I would need it when going to gun/lock shows or conventions as I needed it for comparing the condition or version when considering buying a new cuff.
Original keys versus aftermarket, better condition boxes....etc.
This week, I committed to building a web site to finally retire my photo album.
I chose the simple domain name of "MyHandcuffCollection.com". I was going to use "Handcuffs.org" but it looks like someone beat me to it
I am looking for an easy-to-use web site so I can upload pics and content. I would require quite a bit of space as there are at least 2,000 cuffs to display.
Considerations include; should I list the cuffs by county, manufacturer, chronologically or alphabetically? Some cuffs can't be identified by their origin, so they could be listed in an "unknown" section. Dates of manufacture could be difficult as patent dates may not reflect their manufacture. Some may not even have a patent date.
Alphabetic might be difficult if the cuff has no name.
I would have special sections such as the cuffs from Houdini and other escape artists. Not even sure if I should group handcuffs separately or group them with their leg iron counterparts.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This will be a very long process, but I would like to start it pretty soon.
I also collect ephemera and Houdini autographs, so a special section should include these items too.
Thank you for any help!
