Those are actually quite valuable and should be with a museum for preservation.
I bet they are fake. Why the fuck would they be labeled like that?
Edit: Fuck you all. That metal label is an extravagance a slave trader would not pay for. Especially if one had to buy tons of these.
You are fucking retarded

Yess'am
I'm saying anyone who used them would know what they were used for. The label would be unnecessary. A metal label would increase the cost. If someone had to transport 100s of slaves the metal label would cost a fortune to add. Please... Kill yourself.
You seem to think that slavers were the smartest poeple around back then.
They were just glorified hicks back then.
Hokay. You must be a historian! God I hate this fucking site.
For someone who keeps saying your not mad you seem awfully mad.
Then leave. You aren't a shackled slave forced to sit at a computer and browse.
No. You really are fucking retarded.
It's only labeled for woman and child. The label might be necessary to differentiate between women/children and larger men.
I doubt cuffs of this quality would be used for mass transportation. These probably detained blacks for short periods of time.
Fuck you.
As if a slave trader wouldn't use it on a small man. The labeling is fucking retarded and unnecessary. Do cops carry labeled men/women cuffs?
I hope you are sterile so you can't procreate and I hope everyone you love dies. I hope you get cancer.
Slave Trader here. Labels are there for a reason pal. I've been in the game for years.
Don't apply bad logic to things you don't know about.
I collect antiques. These scream fake. Things with "perfect" labels like this are fake.
Dude, they are fake, but the label is not the reason. They are labeled for size reasons, look again: they don't ratchet, they aren't one size fits all.

You're treading new ground here. I am so mad! Grrrr
This thread ain't big enough for differing opinions partner.
Holy shit son, are you really that stupid?
See my response to the other cocksucker. My skepticism is healthy.
Your response to the other cocksucker is also retarded, motherfucker.
Why put a comma after son if you don't put on after holy shit?

>A Fantasy Cuff is one that never really existed and is often sold as a rare cuff. These usually have a name plate or a name stamped into it. T.H. Porter--dealer in slaves, Alcatraz Prison, Folsom, Yuma Prison, Negro Woman or Child, Joliette and Andersonville Prison are among such markings that can be found on very real looking cuffs. It is believed that none of these prisons ever stamped their names into actual cuffs, so if you are interested in buying an authentic cuff from any of these prisons, stay away from these fakes.

I'm not mad. I just think 90% of reddit is fucking retarded. I swear they will believe anything on this site.
You sure?
Yes. Reddit is insanely gullible.
Do you need a brohug? >.> just dont cry on my mmk?
You poor bastard. Make a good point and the hive stings you to death. I think you are right, and even if you are not, it is an intelligent critical question--that no one has answered.
EDIT: Yep. It is answered below. They show up on eBay from time to time. They're novelties.
It was a rhetorical question.
It was still answered.
It was not a good point.
This fucking place. I miss old reddit.
Old reddit was the same.
you are kind of an asshole but its a valid point
The right one says (i think)
>Property of Georgetown County Plantation Po(lice?)
While there were most likely buyers, there probably weren't slave traders transporting hundreds or thousands of slaves at a time in Georgetown, SC.
