Dear Lars
Thanks for your message on the forum, I do have 3 sets of Daley Bottlenecks and a set of Cavaney bottlenecks in my collection. What I am after are 2 - 3 sets of Cobb 1899 pattern cuffs with ORIGINAL keys and early serial numbers to try and establish whether Hiatt actually made the Cobb pattern cuffs (doubtful)and see if the keys / keyways are different as Houdini states in his book 'Handcuff Secrets'. Many thanks for the offer.
Chris
