For Sale: ANTIQUE 1904 MATTATUCK HANDCUFFS - HOUDINI SECRET!
Harry Houdini wanted so badly to join the US Army during WW1, but at the time they said he was too old and Houdini came up with an idea, he would teach our boys how to escape handcuffs should they ever have them locked up on their own wrists.
Houdini used at the time an interesting handcuff, the Mattatuck and showed how even with the keyholes sealed shut you could still escape.
We obviously wont go into details here about how that happened or the exploit of the lock involved, but its magical.
This Mattatuck handcuff is very good condition and comes with a working key.
