This is a rare example of early Darby restraint from Providence Tool Company. This pair has a highly patinated nickel plating. There is no key, unfortunately. These have a relatively long twist link chain with a solid central swivel. The cuffs are a bit smaller than the larger Hiatt Darby leg irons.
This pair was listed for $160 or best offer and has sold.
Above, the distinctive hinge with a wide center section and a 90 degree angle at the rear of the hinge as seen below. Also makers mark Prov. Tool Co.
