(Several) Bean Detective Handcuffs

Here is a set of Bean Detective Handcuffs with one  original key and the original box in fair condition. 

The current bid is $103.50 with 3 bids. 

UPDATE: price is now $175.50 with 6 bids. 

UPDATE: SOLD for $396 after 9 bids. Great price. You can see how the box adds value. 

This is a light weight handcuff with a wide range of adjustment, but no double lock or swivel. These do not have the activation/hold open feature that some other Bean restraints have. There is not a left and a right cuff; this is two of the same cuff. 

The chain is 3 round bent links. These cuffs have some surface corrosion but appear in reasonably good shape.

I have a pair of these cuffs that I got for $135 in 2023 with 2 original keys. 

UPDATE: here are several more pairs, all with a key. This design was also known as the Pinkerton, as it was used by that agency. 

Here is another set of Towers detective handcuffs. These are not super rare. This set appears in good condition other than some light surface rust. Starting bid $150, or best offer. One original key which looks fairly worn in the photo. 

Above, a decent pair with one key, $250 buy it now.

Finally, here is one more set in good to fair condition with one key, $275 or best offer. 

Close-up of the cuff design. While this is a simple restraint without a lot of features, (no double lock, no swivel, no hold-open device...) it was very popular due to its light weight reliability and compact size.
