Hi,
I posses two nearly identical old Peerless Handcuffs. Both look like the one on the picture (from the Handcuffs.org gallery).
One pair is marked
"Pat.-Pat. Pending
1157135-1161562-1531451
Made in U.S.A."
the other
"Pat. Feb. 20. 1912
Oct. 19. 1915 & Nov. 23. 1915
Pat. Pending"
Any idea, which one is older and/or rarer?
Regards,
Atame
