Hand Made Antique Leg IronsShackles - 1800 Finland

Here is a nice old set of leg irons from Finland.

These shackles are the real thing. They come from my Father’s estate. His notes say Finland, 1800. I sent photos to serious collector who also sells this type of item. He spent a number of years in Finland. He said they are hand made iron shackles as well as confirming the date/period. The chain measures 43 inches long. The chain links are 3 inches long and one inch wide. The cuffs are approximately 1 3/4 inches wide and 3/8 inch thick. The diameter is 3 6/8’s inches. On one side of each cuff near the hinge, there is some impairment due to use. I think not unusual considering they are over 200 years old. They are not broken. The weight is approximately 14 pounds.

It is one thing to watch an old movie and see a chain gang. It is quite another experience to hold these extremely heavy old shackles in my hands and wish they could speak. I am holding a piece of history. - eBay (8 August 2010)

This set of leg irons had a high bid of $458.50 (Plus $18 Shipping).

Rare Finnish Handcufs - Konepaja Voima Patented 1928

This is a rare item indeed. The predecessor to the H & R Cuffs, at least as far as I can tell.

Up for auction is a very rare and beautiful set of the Finnish Konepaja Voima handcuffs. They were patented in July 27, 1928 by Kosti Albinius Hangelin in Helsinki, patent # 12928. The shape is quite similar to Harrington & Richardson Super Handcuffs 123 with a U.S. patent from 1934. You can say these handcuffs are the forerunner and the original pattern. Their appearance is also somewhat chunkier compared to the H&R. One bow is stamped “Konepaja Voima Helsinki” and the other “PAT HAK No 1731”. The stamping “PAT HAK” mean Patentti Hakemus Numero” = Patent application number.

These handcuffs are in excellent condition and have never been rusty. Very smooth action. They double lock by turning the key anti-clockwise, just like the H&R. This set doesn’t come with a key but an H&R key works excellent and is very easy to get for a few dollars.

The shipping cost is $22 worldwide, insurance is extra. - eBay

This set of handcuffs sold for $457.50 (Plus $22 Shipping from Sweden).
----------

Here is another set that came up for auction recently. Seems that they are rare, but oddly enough this is the third set to come up for auction in the last year. But take note that each one of these can be the last for a while, and three total does not add to many collections at all.

This set of handcuffs had an opening bid of $450 (Plus Free Shipping) but did not attract any bids. It was relisted here (17 March 09) and sold for $419.

Rare Finnish Handcuffs - Konepaja Voima Patented 1928

Here is a very interesting rare set of handcuffs:

Up for auction is a beautiful set of the rare Finnish Konepaja Voima handcuffs. They were patented in July 27, 1928 by Kosti Albinius Hangelin in Helsinki, patent # 12928. The shape is quite similar to the Harrington & Richardson Super Handcuffs 123 with a U.S. patent from 1934. You can say these handcuffs are the forerunner and the original pattern. The appearance is also somewhat chunkier compared to the H&R. One bow is stamped “Konepaja Voima Helsinki” and the other “Pat No 12928”. They are in excellent dark shape and have never been rusty. Both springs are strong and there is no play in the locks, both sides moves very smoothely. They double lock by turning the key anti-clockwise, just like the H&R. This set doesn’t come with a key but an H&R key works excellent and is very easy to get for a few dollars. - eBay

Funny, I always thought that the Finnish cuffs were a copy of the H&R Handcuffs. Seems I got that backwards.

This set of handcuffs sold for $700 (Plus $22 Shipping - From Sweden).
