British Made Hiatt Leading Handcuff. POL 378. - POL 378
An original, quality, plated wrought iron leading handcuff, British made. The leading handcuff was still in use as late as the 1970's in Britain and first came into use in the mid to late 19th Century. It was designed to 'snap' onto the wrist and locked in place, the officer could control the offender by carefully twisting the other end which gave full control. They lock with a snap lock kept closed with a spring clip. This leading handcuff is in very good condition, the spring clip works as it should, they lock together. They have a single hinge point which moves smoothly. The body is stamped near to the clip with "Hiatt Steel" on one side and "British made" on the other. There are a couple of small pieces of plating missing from normal usage. The price includes UK delivery. POL 378.

Excellent Original British Police 1920's Wootton Lantern By Smiths of Cricklewood. Sn 13907:39. - 13907:39
An excellent condition British Police 1920's Wootton Lantern by Smiths of Cricklewwod. Batteries have been around since 1800 but these were bulky and used a liquid acid as an electrolyte and therefore were impractical for use in any hand-held light. What was to be called the dry cell battery came into being around 1880 but was still too bulky to be considered for use in a convenient personal-use light. In 1887, a true dry cell battery was invented. The dry cell did not require a liquid acid as electrolyte and therefore was “dry”, and so the name. The lamp itself was designed by George Arthur Henry Wootton who was the Assistant (Chief) Engineer of the Metropolitan Police in the 1920s. The patent carries the date of 23rd November, 1922. This lamp was powered by an accumulator of 2 volts and the lens was able to be focused by turning the metal ring around the lens. The lamps were used mainly by police.

The top is released by pushing a button on the side, see one of the photographs. On the top is a rotating on off switch which operates smoothly.
