NECK COLLAR HANDCUFFS

This is a very interesting idea made a little safer by limiting the ability for the cuff to close to the point of choking around the neck. Still, it looks like the metal swing arm could be a little more thick and the edges could be rounded a bit. Maybe the final version takes these issues into account.

Still, there is the need to observe anyone wearing such an item to ensure against accidental death.

Now here is something you have never ever seen before! The writer overheard someone in the gym talking about milling machines and after a brief conversation the new design was conceived!

This highly experienced team of engineers have developed this brilliant new item for us. You are looking at the prototype of a steel neck collar (a patent is pending). For a long time we have felt that law enforcement agencies need a modern neck collar to ensure complete control of their prisoners.

This collar is heavy! Just on its own it weighs nearly 2 kilos, yes 2 kilos, thats 4 pounds, 5.4 oz! We have spent a lot of time developing this product and we decided to drop a double locking option for a special stop which restricts how far the restraint can be closed. At the tightest setting the circumference is 21 inches (54 cms) so unless your prisoner is one of those people who have to be removed from his/her room with a special crane, it will fit!

We have not actually taken delivery of the new batch yet so please bare with us if we take a bit of time to deliver, however we do not anticipate an enormous delay, if any at all, indeed this sentence might be edited out before the end of the sale. Also, please bare in mind that the pictures are of the prototype which was not plated. The official item will be zinc plated to a very high standard, you will not be disappointed!

If you are a collector you will realise that this item is unique. - eBay

This item sold on eBay for 140.99 British Pounds / $214.64 (Plus 21 Pounds shipping).

Rare Yale Padlock

It is always nice to see a rare padlock. For me the definition is anything that goes for over a $1,000. (or at least is valued over $1,000)

1870's TOWER IMMATATION DETECTIVE Handcuffs

Here is a nice set of counterfeit handcuffs. Note the slight differences from the real Pinkerton handcuffs seen here:

nice set of 1870's TOWER IMMATION handcuffs complete with a nice working key...... the maker of the IMMATATION TOWER was put out of business shortly after making them as they were charged with INFRINGMENT rights from the real TOWER handcuff maker...... therefore, the IMMATATION TOWER DETECTIVE is actually RARER then the TOWER DETECTIVE ......... some of the difference's in THIS cuff are the STRAIGHT cuts accross the BOW, the PROTRUDING rivet pins in the hinges, & a NOTCH where the bow goes into the body of the cuff......... - eBay (9 Feb 2010)

These handcuffs had a 'Buy-it-Now' price of $285 (Plus $8.50 Shipping).
