LOT OF TWO EXTREMELY RARE MARLIN ACCESSORY ITEMS.

LOT OF TWO EXTREMELY RARE MARLIN ACCESSORY ITEMS. 1) Possibly the only set known, this Marlin 3-way handcuff is a much speculated & sought after item. Mr. Clapp obtained this set many years ago and had never offered them for sale or had them photographed or published. There is one reference in an old Marlin catalog but Mr. Clapp had speculated that they were never actually made, this possibly being the prototype or experimental set that was never accepted or pursued by the law enforcement community. This set is described as three Marlin handcuffs attached to a central ring with forged orig links and nickel plating. The handcuffs are individually marked “MARLIN FIRE ARMS CO. / NEW HAVEN CT. U.S.A.”. All three are marked identically. All three cuffs are nickel finish and are completely functional. Accompanied by two keys, one original and one reproduction. 2) Extremely rare nickel plated steel Marlin shoehorn/button hook. Overall 10-1/2″ long with a tapered concave shoehorn on one end and a button hook on the other. Marked on back side of shoehorn “Marlin Firearms Co. / New Haven Ct.”. “New Haven” has an arrow at each end. CONDITION: 1) Handcuffs, as noted, are functional and retain, overall, about 50% orig nickel finish with flaked & worn areas a dark patina. 2) Shoehorn/button hook retains about 96-97% strong nickel over copper finish with slight edge wear. 4-36077, 4-36086 JR505 (3,000-5,000)
