bad dreams that is.

My father passed away January 7th and now we're going through the house trying to get a grasp on the accumulation. I knew he had quite a few firearms and western collectables, but I'm finding things he never showed me.

Like these S&W handcuffs







and these various head knockers

The three handcuffs appear to be S&W Model 100
The one on the right with PAT’S PENDING stamped on the cheek is the second version of the M-100 patent pending, noted by the double-lock slot being on both sides of the cuff, where the version one examples only have the double-lock slot on the key-way side of the cuff. The photos are not very clear, so I can’t be sure if they were manufactured in Springfield, Mass., where most of these patent pending M-100’s manufactured prior to moving the handcuff manufacturing to Houlton, ME. in 1979. There are a few M-100 patent pending version two examples that were manufactured in Houlton, ME. after the the manufacturing was moved. Like I said, photo not clear, but I think I see Houlton, ME. Stamped on yours.
The other two appear to be M-100 manufactured in Houlton, ME. And manufactured from 1979 thru 2010. In 2011 the manufacturing process was changed from a braising process to an all rivet construction and were now marked M-100-1.

Thanks for the input, Dltvette.
I know nothing of these handcuffs.
Here are some better pictures. I noticed the key is different on each set.

Here's the 3rd set.





Is that small key correct or a replacement?

If you are really interested in S&W handcuff history, I have a ebook on Amazon titled Smith & Wesson Handcuff History Volumes 1 & 2.
