#1Hey all I have this hamburg 8 made of brass nickle plated flat keyway, no numbers on it but does have a weird logo by the keyway.
I just saw this same cuff in a 2012 post here on the forum with better pics of the logo i have.
Does anyone have an answer for this?
Thank you in advance

The third installment of the Jay Marshall estate is being held today.
They have a pair of Hamburg 8's with rectangular keyhole and are advertising
them as Houdini's. Jay included a note on where he obtained them (Bennett)
and was told they were Houdini's. After checking with a few friends
they can be dated to Houdini's lifetime via a 1923 photo, but not with
Houdini in them but another escape artist. And, those pair had the
horseshoe-shaped keyhole. Anyway, they just sold for $5000.
People must not know a lot about handcuffs!
