Vintage Leg Irons - Providence Tool Co

This is a nice looking set of very old leg irons.







From my collection: An important set of leg irons manufactured by Providence Tool Co. I purchased these from my favorite uncle in Petersburg, VA in 1976. He was in his 70's then and had owned them since the 1930's. These are not re-pops. If there was a D-Ring on key, it is missing. Release catch works by screwing in key and pulling. They work fine.

Here are a couple of links re: Providence arms manufacture (they made the Peabody Rifle)
