Slave Shackle, made of iron, 13.25" X 4", used to prohibit the free movement of one slave, or to shackle two slaves together, the left ankle of one and the right ankle of the other. Used primarily on slave ships to confine Africans to the lower deck. Acquired from Danny Drain, Curator and President of the Slave Relics Museum, Walterboro, South Carolina. Excerpted from Mr. Drain's letter to us, "...We have purchased a large collection of slave shackles from a South Carolina estate back in the fall of 1996, which also consists of slave collars and other restraints...Please Note: These are not law enforcement cuffs from the 1800's. Some people and even some experts confuse the law enforcement cuffs as being actual slave shackles...Slave shackles were...forged by Europeans or en-slaved Africans on the plantations...The middle passage shackles uses a chain through the rings and will lock at a stationary location on a slave ship...I have handled thousands of slave shackles over the years, and became one of the most reliable sources to authenticate slave shackles or any other restraint that were used on en-slaved Africans." Normal light rusting due to age. Overall, fine condition. Letter of Authenticity from Danny Drain accompanies this shackle.   page for more information about Autographs our Guarantee and Our Company.
