The Dawson Machine Company of Worchester Massachusetts was never a large manufacturer of handcuffs, but the company did market two high quality handcuffs, both highly desirable to any collector. The first was patented on July 4, 1899 by J. F. Cumming and is commonly known as the Cumming handcuff. The Cumming handcuff possesses two unique features, a locking button on the side of the lock case and two side grips that helped the arresting officer open the cuff. The cuffs are heavy and very well made. The key is a very simple one with the key way on the end of the top of the lock case.

These are beatiful pieces that will compliment anyone's collection.

Look carefully at each piece. The item thats pictured is the item you will receive. - eBay
