Hiatt Nipper (“Come-Along”). England, early 20th century.
Forged steel restraint stamped Hiatt, with daisy motif at the central hinge. Spring-tension jaws of oval and circular form. Dark patina with oxidation consistent with age. Mechanically intact. An authentic example of English restraint design, associated with both law enforcement use and escape artistry demonstrations of the period.
