Grab bag catch-up 2

When I don't post about an item, because it's fairly common or just doesn't get it's opportunity to be posted about, it ends up here in the grab bag where I can at least preserve the photo evidence of each example and comment on it. 
Above, a Darby handcuff which I suspect is the matching handcuffs for the Froggatt Darby shackles I got a few months back. I believe it was the same seller, and the dirty patina is the same. I think these sold.

Below, a nice Balco (?) Tower pattern leg iron with the twist link chain vs the Balco round link chain or the Towers waffle link chain. 


Above, a waist chain restraint from American Handcuff Company with their N-100 modern swing through ratcheting handcuffs. These are the radiused edge high quality examples vs the more crude production runs by American Munitions Company. 

Below, a mint condition Tower Double Lock Handcuffs with original box and keys. Very nice. $475 or best offer, offer was accepted. 





Above and below, W.S Daley handcuffs. These are similar to early Peerless handcuffs and have a key with a locating top, solid barrel. 
These appear relatively thick compared to modern makes. 
W.S. Darley & Co. Chicago


Above and below, mint condition H & R Super Handcuffs with original box and key. Very nice nickel plating.

Above, Mattatuck handcuffs. These are fairly rare but what's even more rare is that there is an original key. 

Below, the distinctive grip spurs of the Cummings handcuffs from Cummings Machine Company. These also have an activating lever as seen outboard of the grip. One long oval chain link. 

Above, a rare Towers bottom key leg iron. This was the predecessor to the double lock leg iron. 

Below, a patinated non adjustable Darby handcuff, my guess would be Froggatt but I can't see the key too well. 

Above, a nice Bean Cobb handcuff with key.

Below, a Supercuff with some authentic edge wear and what appears to be a non original key. 




Above, Strauss Engineering handcuffs, if I'm not wrong. 

Below a Tower Detective model with original ornate key. Three waffle links. 


Above and below, a nice Hiatt M & C 1917 Darby handcuff.
