Marlin Daley Handcuffs

Here is a nice pair of Marlin Daley "bottleneck" handcuffs. So called because the lock case, elegant and curved, looks sort of like an old glass soda bottle. 

These had a key and sold for $202.50 after 20 bids. 

These are quite rare. I only see a couple pairs a year go through eBay, if that. There are a few different models or makers. These have 3 twist link chain links, and no swivels, while other examples have a central swivel link connected by two stout O rings. 

 Below we see a beautiful nickel plated version with the central swivel. 

This pair was listed for $625 on eBay and an unknown offer was accepted. 

Overall a beautiful handcuff. I've never held one before, but they look really nice. The shackle is similar to Towers handcuffs, but the lock case is obviously much different.
