1880's Tower Double Lock Handcuffs — Stamped "E.C. JAIL" For Sale

$150.00

For Sale: Tower Double Lock Handcuffs — Stamped "E.C. JAIL" — Ca. 1880s — Lot 71

Agency marked Tower cuffs are always more desirable than unmarked examples and this one carries the "E.C. JAIL" stamping — a marking that raises an intriguing question of origin. E.C. could stand for Erie County, Eau Claire, or Essex — the exact jurisdiction remains open to collector debate but the stamping is genuine and the provenance is real. 3-link late model marked "Towers Double Lock" with excellent mechanics and approximately 80% original finish. Possible keypost refitting noted — working key included.
