Featured in this lot are Antique Yuma Territorial Prison Leg Irons and Corbin Ironclad Six Levers Padlock with Key, circa 1876 to 1909. These leg irons are similar to the Bilboes used on slave ships. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. The Yuma Territorial Prison is a former prison located in Yuma, Arizona, United States, that opened July 1, 1876. For the next 33 years 3,069 prisoners, including 29 women, served sentences there for various crimes ranging from murder to polygamy. Some of the notable inmates were former Cochise County lawman and train robber Burt Alvord, train robber Bill Downing, polygamist William J. Flake, "Buckskin Frank" Leslie, and Pete Spence, outlaw involved in the Earp-Clanton feud. The shackles are stamped, "YUMA TERRITORIAL PRISON" on the top of the U-shaped leg shackles, with the letters, "C B G" stamped in circles on the iron bar which is inserted through the shackles. The leg irons are designed so the person is restrained to stay put, while only allowing movement of the feet sideways inside the limited range the rod allows for. These heavy duty iron leg irons are in amazingly well preserved condition, rich patina observed throughout. The leg irons are secured with a functioning Corbin Ironclad Six Levers padlock, with key. Leg irons measure 15"L x 5.25"W x 1.5"D4lb, 14oz.
