#1Just watching a TV programme on Great Railway Journeys of the world. They stopped off at The Doc Holiday Museum at Glenwood Springs. Something was not right gold star awarded to who can spot the mistake!
If Doc died in 1887........WHY are COBB HANDCUFFS (from 1899) -- on display???!!!!

#3"His" Bean Cobb Handcuffs were patented 12 years after his passing. He couldnt have used them during his career as a lawman.

#5Late to the game on this one and the above answers are what I figured.
I googled it and saw that my hunch was right.
These cuffs are just like the Harvard's that were in the Houdini collection and sold at the Radner auction.
Houdini's ghost must have purchased those.
Richard, can it be that these are not made by H&R and are actually S&W prototypes from 1879?
If so, you need these too!

I know for a fact that these are not S&W Prototypes. LOL! But, Those Harvards that Radner had in the Houdini Collection....Now, maybe S&W made those as a Prototype? I better grab them just to be sure! LOL!

#7Either way, Prototypes are the greatest!
One day, I hope to have a prototype museum and get rid of all the other regular model cuffs that are non-prototypes!
