Iamgelink img. Auctionimage border 2px solid #0000ff avisited. Imagelink img. Auctionimage border 2px solid #800080. This is a very early example of delestatius/a. Rankin 1861 model handcuffs iwth a circular construction (as compared with the later a. Rankin model that had a falt bottom portion with a small half loop to allow finger insertion for opening the cuffs). The handcuffs are stamped a. Rankin phila and patent dec 10 1861. The handcuffs are complete with original key, solid adn fine working.
The original early stlye key is impressive in it's own right. The designs on both sides of the key are hand engraved. This key is different from teh keys that i have seen with some online photos of this model of handcuff. Also, i have seen an online photo of this model of handcuffs and the phila and patent were in opposite corners than on this pair that i have (not that this makes a difference, but it is different). A scarce and early set of americna handcuffs. My eamil is goodjunk@ptd. Netbuyer pays all shipping, insurance and handling. I accept paypal and us postal money orders.
