RARE HIATT IRISH-8 HANDCUFFS WITH ORIGINAL KEY

These early 1900's handcuffs are essentially a Figure-8 handcuff except for the locking mechanism, which is atypical Darby spring-backed bolt with external threading that is pulled out with an internally threaded screw key. One side of the cuffs is a little smaller than the other. The "Irish" designation is possibly a refecrence to their being used primarily in Ireland.

These handcuffs are stamped 'Hiatt 3". The key is also stamped with "Hiatt" and "1"
