Up for your consideration in this lot is a set of early Tower, Double-Locking Iron Leg Restraints dating from circa 1850 -. The cuffs are marked with 5 partially legible patent dates that are as follows; "MAY 26, 185x - SEPT 4, 185x - MAR 5, 187x - DEC 16, 187x, DEC 6, 18xx". These cuffs utilize a barrel skeleton key, although this particular set is missing its key. Although multiple companies manufactured leg restraints much like Towers, you can rest assured knowing these are genuine due to the oblong, imperfect chain link used only by Tower. Overall, these cuffs are in good condition, showcasing a consistent amount of patina for age. This set of restraints measures approximately 19 1/4" long, and 6 3/4" wide.
