Fairly easy one, this time. A Lilly bar iron, these handcuffs were invented by Sgt. Lilly and were famous for being used on the conspirators in President Lincoln's assassination

In 1910 Harry Houdini wrote: "This cuff was invented by Captain Lilly, U.S. Army. He was the first man that ever put them on, and, through a strange irony of fate, he died with a pair on him. It is a regulation cuff - now obsolete in the Army - but is in use at present in the U.S. Navy." ... "Invented by Sergeant Lilly, of the United States Army, who never patented them, and strange to say, he died with a pair of them on his wrists, suffering from delirium tremens."
