Default An interesting handcuff

I have paid a significant amount for this thing. All the money went for its age ... assuming it is not a modern example. I know they were still in use in the fifties, those now selling out there for a few bucks.
Called 'come along', derived from the 'twister' which, as the name reveals, could be used in such manner that, the level of cruelty that could be achieved, caused its abolition here and there .
Apparently this type of device has its origin in early ages.
The model used for the pratice picture was my better half; you should see her expression during the photo session .
