Another Set of Bean Giant Handcuffs

Here is a fine example of a rare set of Bean Giant Handcuffs. Before the end of the auction I had a conversation with another collector who estimated that it would go for over $2,000 given the good condition. So it seems that someone got a good deal.





Antique Bean Giant handcuffs. These are an outstanding example of these highly collectible cuff. They are fully functional with a replacement key. I have been watching this model sell for the last year and I believe this is one of the finest examples that has come on the market. - eBay (22 July 2010)

This Bean Giant had a high bid of $1,550 (Plus $7.50 Shipping). The only reason I have for this not selling for more is that like everywhere else, most collectors are simply tapped out with little cash to spare on more cuffs. For me, I had just bought a second Bean Giant on 4 July, never expecting that my bid would win out at under $1,000.

19th C Cotterill Patent Climax Detector Padlock

A beautiful padlock.









This is a rare 19th century Cotterill Patent Climax Detector padlock, complete with original key. The padlock is marked ’unpickable and powder-proof’, as well as with all the name details. Measures 13.4cm top to bottom when closed, and is in good working order. There are a few age related knocks, to be expected, but generally excellent. The lock is not stiff, the original key is still present, and it would be a perfectly usable padlock. I don’t know if there was originally a keyhole cover, but if so it is no longer present. - eBay (27 June 2010)


This padlock had a high bid of 1,131.11 British Pounds/$1,719.63 (Plus 23Pounds Shipping).
