18th Century Colonial Era, Hand-Forged Set of Iron Slave Shackles, Very Fine.
This original Hand-forged Set of Slave Trade Shackles, is a rare type used in the 18th Century from about 1750 in the Colonial through Revolutionary War Era. The hand-forged links of chain measure about 30” long in total length. One end has a 4.5” x 4” loop for attaching to the person’s neck and the other end has a 2.5” loop to attach to a wall or some other secure item. There is also a cross link with two 2.5” loops about 14” from the large loop end all having a natural even patina. An awsome and horrible piece of American Slave Trade and Black history, directly related to that turbulent time of our history. The first of this design type we have offered.
