Purchased a set of derby handcuffs for fun from a flea market. On inspection there are some markings around and I thought it would be interesting to identify the handcuffs origin as there appears to be nothing on google.

The only markings on the cuff are small engravings marked "W.P & Co" with the words "Cape town" underneath. Nothing else identifies the cuff. Could anyone help shed some light on it? Thanks!

I can shed some light on them. Can you just hold the cuffs a little closer to your screen?

Heh not that kind of help, but thanks for attempting :P

Some pics

I have not seen one of these before. It looks a lot like a standard Hiatt. My guess is the W P and Co is a South African vendor and they bought cuffs from Hiatt. The most likely date would be early 20th century.

Thanks Joe, I can't find any information on this either. Only thing I have so far is a company called Harvey W.P & Co (Grain dealers) back in 1891. Looks authentic then again you never know, hope someone here has a similiar cuff.
