Title: Old Police Handcuffs
Post by: mephare on February 19, 2008, 10:10:57 PM

These handcuffs were given to my grandfather during a job he did a few years back, and he wanted me to find out more about them. Does anyone have any info on them, or a general idea of worth?

They are clearly marked "HIATT BEST" and "Warranted Wrought", as well as the number 57. From what I have found, 57 is the police district that they came from, and I believe it was somewhere in London.
