I'm not sure if this has ever been asked.
But, what was your first cage?
🔏In the 1990s, when I first stumbled across Altairboy and several other resources, I made a few different cages from rubber or metal O rings, leather, plastic, etc. Later, I bought a locking leather & metal "stallion guard" cage from the Stockroom.com (the item is no longer sold, but it resembled a "Gates of Hell" device).
Don't forget, at the time there were not many commercial devices available, so making one's own cages was pretty typical. Mrs Edge and I played with them for a while, but they were not the most attractive.
That changed in the early 2000s when I showed her the CB3000. She liked the clear plastic and the organic looking design. "You have got to get one of these," she told me.
I went through several CB3000 cages because I was able to modify them to be more comfortable and convenient. Eventually I made a stainless steel cuff ring (the plastic ones kept breaking), and I wore it for years, until I started getting into the inexpensive stainless steel cages that were coming onto the market.
I did try a number of other mass produced cages, but kept returning to the CB3000 because it fit well, and was convenient. Later, I spent a summer trying out various Chinese produced cages from Ali Express, but eventually settled on the A272 (I have no idea who the original maker is), and it's been my "permanent cage" for over seven years now.
