For Sale: Original WWII Harvard Leg Iron with Original Box & Keys — Navy Contract — Lot 101
A rare find — Harvard leg irons are hard enough to locate on their own, but this example comes with its original box, two keys, and the original Harvard label card inside. WWII military surplus restraints like this were sold for years after the war through surplus channels, often advertised in the back pages of comic books — exactly the kind of mail-order history this box documents. It retains October 1955 postage from Jacob Shannon & Co of Philadelphia PA, a genuine surplus-era provenance trail tied directly to that postwar market.
