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

Late 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!

Either 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!
