Offered up for bidding in this lot is two sets of of "Come-Along" handcuffs, or "Nipper" handcuffs. One set is a Clejsuo Model 6, the other pair being the Thomas & Smith. First, we have the Thomas & Smith Nippers which date to C. 1880 -. These Nippers pivot open when the lock is slid to the side, and close on a prisoners when the push-plate is pressed against the wrist. This handcuff is absent of any makers mark, however, it retains most all of its nickel plating, and remains in excellent working condition. The second pair of nippers is the Clejuso Model 6, manufactured in Germany by the "Clemens & Jung Company". This Come-A-Long is also absent of makers marks, but is inscribed "LPBy'. These nippers feature an incredibly simple tab system to operate the open or close. The nippers maintain excellent nickel finish with only minor spots of rust. The handcuff is also in great working condition. The larger cuff is the Model 6 nipper and measures 3 3/4" and 4 5/8".
