Lot of 4: 1 is a set of Gill Lion Tamer thumb restraint. Approx 4L x 1.3W, stainless steel construction, ratcheting operation, with key. 2 is a set of Peerless Handcuffs Co. Of Springfield Mass. Serial No. 52742. Swivel chain connection, ratcheting operation, with key. (2 keys, 1 is bent, but functional) 3 is the unique Iron Claw type of come-along restraint, serial No. 185859 from Argus Mfg Co. Of Chicago IL. Pat. 1950757 20666543, from 1931. 4 is another chain-connected cuff set, by Smith Wesson, probably c1900. (2) keys provided. The Iron Claw is of special interest, as many thousands were produced and used, and were especially liked by law enforcement officers. This particular model is the improved version with the splined teeth covered by a sliding collar, which prevented the nipping experienced by the carrying officers in the original uncovered model. Also notable is both Peerless and Smith Wesson continue to currently supply modern cuffs and restraints to law enforcement today. HKA#62604
