VINTAGE HIATT CAP LOCK 'HANDCUFF'

This is a very simple design but also very secure once the chain gets passed through the hole. This is the working end of prison chains that once locked prisoners together for transport.

VINTAGE HIATT CAP LOCK HANDCUFF. Greetings, Hello fellow collectors, Here is a very scarce cuff, complete with the cap lock cover. I suspect this hiatt was made late 19th to early 20th century. The cuff is in very good condition and would make a fine edition to any collection as many advanced collections lack this piece. The cuff would of been likely attached to a transport chain with a group of prisoners. Condition of this item is excellent as most are a rust bucket that i have seen over the years. Normal ware and tear is present and some light oxidation. The cap fits perfectly, it does have a small ding you can see in the last pic. Outstanding specimen! Ships priority mail with insurance. Only ships to the lower 48 and no international of any kind. Comes with a money back guarantee! - eBay (March, 2022)

This 'Handcuff' had a bid of $334.99 (Plus $15 Shipping) but the auction was ended by the seller 'because the item was no longer available'. -----

Can you Restart a Blog After 7 Years of inactivity????????

So here I am checking on the related email account for this blog and I'm still getting emails for such old posts.

The emails were great and I answered a couple, getting a 'You just responded to a 2.5 year old email' as one of the responses.

Been looking at my collection lots lately, so lets have some fun and take a look at what has been coming up for sale these days.......

Feel free to email. My responsiveness is not promised.

And yes, handcuff keys for antique handcuffs are hard to come by. Buy handcuffs with working keys:)

US Treasury Lock - Heavy Brass Clarke Combo Padlock

One of my favorite styles of combination padlocks. Rare and yet still affordable for those willing to save for a while. This one for some reason was a little more expensive than average. Perhaps it is indicative of increased demand.

This beautiful brass government seal lock was made for use by the U.S. Treasury Dept., by Clarke Combination Lock Co. in Baltimore, MD. Original pat. date of 1873 and reissued in Feb. of 1876. Over 138 years ago! It is in wonderful condition for its age and works great. There are some older small tool marks on the back plate, which closes tight and still has the retaining spring clip behind it. Some newer tool marks on the knurled turn ring and the loss of some chrome. Beautiful patina and a smooth working, great feeling lock. Very collectible! - eBay (24 Oct 2014)

This padlock had a high bid of $799 (Plus Free Shipping).

19th Century E. Cotterill & Co A20 Padlock

What an amazing padlock. The final bit price is simply amazing. Then again, it is the one and only new Cotterill padlock that has come up for auction that I can remember.

Beautiful 19th Century Edwin Cotterill A20 Padlock.

Googled it and think it is a Royal Climax Detector

Original, boxed, mint condition with 2 amazing key still wrapped in oiled paper.

Boxed in mint condition

This lock is unused in great condition, I have googled this item and found out it is one of the most desired locks out there. It has all the marks and patent stamped on it and the original box has a small hand written line “Brass Lock 1898” I personally think it is a bit earlier more 1870 ish.
