The top items are a pair of Delestatius handcuffs and a nice Stotz. The Colt collectors were also going a bit crazy these last two weeks.

Hello,
I bought the Adams handcuffs for $240.50 listed above.

After the auction, the seller sent me some more details about the history of the cuffs:

"Hi--I found a clipping in the box with these cuffs, among other things.I dont know if they should go together but if you want it, I will sent it along. It says the following--1907--here is a quoted item : " The handcuffs which William Harvey Carswell wore at the time he was led to his doom on the gallows nearly 40 years ago, to answer to the crime of murder commited on Pond Hill in this town-(which is camden NY) were presented by Hugh Owen in Rome NY Tuesday to officer Herbert Sanford, Camden (NY). I dont know if you want it but it kind of dates the cuffs 40 years before 1907."

Hooah!

I don't know that the newspaper clipping proves anything, but it's a neat thing to have with the cuffs!
