For Sale: Rare Romer Leg Iron – Excellent Condition
Offered here is a very rare Romer leg iron, produced by the Romer Lock Co., and preserved in excellent condition with a rich brown patina and a working key.
Romer restraints are especially notable because they are one of the very few handcuffs and leg irons made by a padlock company, which explains their distinctive padlock-like shape. In period use, when one side failed, it was common practice to cut the connecting chain and continue using the remaining side as a standalone padlock.
Maker: Romer Lock Co.
Condition: Excellent overall
Finish: Smooth brown patina
Functionality: Mechanically correct and works exactly as intended
Historical Note: Romer restraints appear in early 1900s photographs of escape artists, including Houdini, Hardeen, and others, reflecting their use during the height of the escape era
A scarce and historically interesting leg iron with direct ties to early restraint innovation and performance history.
Please see pics for overall condition.
