BERLINER:
EXTREMELY RARE BERLINER HANDCUFFS 1880’S
For the serious collector
One of the rarest handcuffs ever, The Berliner, the name was coined by Houdini during his first tour of Europe. He stated that most handcuffs with this shape come from and near the town of Berlin, hence they have become known as Berliners.
This model was made by the company MUEHLENFELD for Prisons. It is a very restrictive pattern and even with the key escape is almost impossible.
This specimen is in perfect mechanical condition and comes with a key.
This is a RARE OPPORTUNITY to add a truly top tier historical item to any serious collection of Restraints, Houdini Memorabilia, Locks and Magic History.
Price $1700.00 OBO

FIRST MODEL BEAN 1899 HANDCUFFS:
The very first model of what would become one of the World's most popular handcuff designs of all time and featured around the Globe.
What sets this apart and really drives home its rarity is
The removable lock insert is actually a bit thicker than the handcuff body proper, this was later made flush in following models. There is no indentation around lock release button, it is just flat and all later versions featured the hollowed out area to aide in operation. The stamping is curved around the keyway. later models don't have it in this position.
The cuff is in great working condition. It is a must-have in the collection of American Handcuffs
