The top item is a set of boxed Tower leg irons and handcuffs. Nice, but a record price for Towers. We also had a Wood chain handcuff and a nice Stotz handcuff.
I really get a kick out of some escape artist gear.
If one could conceal picks the size of these Trudel ones that same person would certainly have no problem concealing an original key.
Too funny.
Cheers, Steve

There was another new in the box Tower that went fast with a "Buy it Now" at $ 300.00. The box was also marked "Texas Rangers". The cuff did not have the Texas Rangers markings.
Texas Rangers handcuffs ??

This is the same seller who had a pair of H&R Supers with the same stamping on the box.
They sold for over $300 also. with no provenance other than word of seller..

I figured if the cuff and LI went for such a high price, that the $ 300.00 for the handcuff in a box is worth at least $ 300.00. The Texas Rangers mark is a nice addition. I am sure it is old and legit. The seller is connected to the Rangers, and that also adds some credibility.
