Dear fellow collectors,
recently I managed to add the famous "Dollar" Handcuffs to my collection. Unfortunately without key. Although there are several pictures of this restraint with key in the Web and in books, they are no help for me with regard to making a new key, because it's the wrong type of key. Steve Santini wrote in his book "Devices of human restraints" that there are two versions of these handcuffs. The first with barrel key and the second with a double-sided flat key. My version seems to be of the of the second type while all others I found were of the first.
Could anyone provide me with a picture of a matching key for my version? Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Guenter aka Atame
PS: does anybody know exactly, who made these handcuffs and when, or at least, if they are from Germany, Austria or Italy?
