This padlock had a high bid of $512 (Plus $12.65 Shipping).This well made restraining device is designed with a single restraining cuff and is known also as a "Come Along". This particular one is of Swiss origin, is spring loaded and remains in very nice working condition. Overall measuring 5 across by 4 1/8 inches in height. - eBay (18 May 09)
What a great find. Go follow the link above for the rest of the discussion.I recently purchased the Hiatt grip shown below. Both the cuff and the key are marked with the name Hiatt and a number "2". The grip is built differently than the standard Hiatt grips that close with a simple catch. On this one the two halfs of the grip come together is a very tight complentary "claw" closure. To open it a screw key has to be screwed in depressing the bottom claw. The grip then pops open. Everything is very tight and the grip is actually very difficult to close.
Once closed it is very secure and there is no way you are going to open it by hand. The spring action is simply to strong.
Overall it is a very interesting cuff for the collection, but it is easy to see why they were never popular. It is just to hard to operate. And to use it you would have to carry it in an open position. - Handcuffs.org Forum

This come along/nipper sold for $80.79 (Plus $8 Shipping).Submitted for your approval: An old police "come along" used for restraint and cooperation. I am not quite sure of the age. This piece is beautifully made of nickle plated steel and shows little use. The springs are nice and tight. The only marking appears as: C.H. / 1890. - eBay (23 May 09)
This set of nippers had an opening bid of $1,000 and sold for $2,052 (Plus $12.50 shipping).A handcuff expert has identified this as a "rare and valuable Nipper. It is a "Lutz, Royce, Trenor, and Chadwick" patented May 3, 1870." It is a locking come-along with a release lever. Made of brass and cast iron with rosewood handles with three "tightness" levels. The mechanism is in excellent working condition. Sold "As-Is," no returns. Insurance and overseas shipping rates will vary depending on purchaser's desires. Customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer/recipient.
Thanks for looking and bidding.
Seller then added the following:
Question & Answer:Q: Hi, Does this restraint appear to have been altered in any way, or taken apart? I understand that it is extremely old, but is there a particular reason that its an "as is" no return auction? Thanks for taking time to respond. Best regards, William
A: No reason whatsoever, as far as I can tell. Just caution on my part. This restraint was given to me by me late father-in-law (I was a sheriff's deputy at the time) more than 25 years ago and has been stored in a safe, virtually untouched, for most of that period. Can't answer as to what may have happened before that period. The item is in good working condition. - eBay (22 April 09)
