This SLAYMAKER LOCK MFG CO " THE NEW CENTURY" lock is a very nice lock but in dire need of repair. Very collectible with the original key that came with it.

This padlock had a high bid of $355 (Plus $11.50 Shipping).This is a very scarce and antique, small Bramah & Company all brass padlock.
It is a small padlock, almost a miniature padlock, but not quite. It is operated by the unique and unusual Bramah system in which the unusual Bramah key pushes in levers that open up the padlock.
You push the key in the keyhole, you will feel the key push in against a little resistance.
Than you will turn the key to the right, and you can now lift up the shackle to open the padlock.
The key stays in the padlock until it is locked.
To lock the padlock, you put down the shackle and turn the key to the left, the shackle is now locked, and you can remove the key.
This padlock measures 2 inches high, 1+1/4 inches across, the thickness of the body of the padlock is almost 1/2 inch, but with the tubular key hole entrance, measures close to one inch thick.
The key is a working key, not original and functions superbly, the padlock is in very nice condition, works great and will be one, if not THE, highlight of your collection!
I never thought I would sell this, but times being as they are, some treasures must go.
This padlock is not cheap, and collectors know what this is. The Bramah is considered one of the best locking systems ever devised, extremely secure, this was state of the art science 100 or so years ago when this was made.
There is a sliding keyhole cover on this little padlock.
On the reverse of this padlock you can see the words, although very faded, BRAMAH & CO., there is also what looks like an address, but can't make out.
On the front of the padlock are the numbers: 10201
I PAID OVER $300.00 FOR THIS PADLOCK A WHILE AGO, $300 IS MY RESERVE, AND THAT IS A VERY FAIR PRICE FOR THIS EXTREMELY SCARCE PADLOCK WITH WORKING KEY. THANKS! - eBay (21 Dec 2009)

This Bean Giant had a high bid of $1,750 (Plus Free Shipping).Here are a great example of the original BEAN GIANT handcuffs. They are only marked with the early patent date of NOV. 1, 87. They are in almost perfect condition with no breaks or cracks. They have NEVER been opened or messed with in any way except the old sheriff hand-etched his initals of "C/K" on the reverse side of the keyhole. The keyhole is undamaged and has no modification. The original BEAN key is provided and they work great. Turn the key counter clockwise, the two buttons pop up and the hasps will swing freely until the button is pressed down and this locks the hasps. The key has no markings and has a slight "twist" from someone turning it clockwise, but it is solid and shows no weakness, it will open them everytime!
The nickel plating is all original. It shows only the slightest wear on the ends of the hasps from use. There are only a few tiny spots of rust around the keyhole area and in a few other places, but these are the best ones I have seen in a while! They are used and original, but were well cared for. They are factory and were never opened for repair and never seen bubba's grinding wheel. They are uncleaned, unpolished and are new to the market, ready for your collection! They are 6" long overall, 2 7/8" tall, the hole for your wrist fully closed is 2 7/16" across. - eBay (12 Dec 2009)
This set of handcuffs had a high bid of $1,085 (Plus $7 Shipping).Excellant pair of handcuffs from the Civil war period not sure of the exact date because the patent date 186 and the last number is missing on the both cuffs. Has the maker as A.Rankin Philadelphia. These are not reproductions but original. They do have the original Key to open them. Any questions please ask. - eBay (11 Jan 2010)
Very nicely done.Mckenzie Handcuffs
These are a reproduction of the "famous" McKenzie Mitts invented in the mid 1800s by Jacob Mackenzie. Possibly the first "high security" cuff ever constructed. The designer was a escort guard who was jumped by a prisoner and shot with his own gun during the escape. His response was to design this device.
