Re: Some more scissors...
You are sure right MB!
Do you know why the screw was used in the first place? Giving a specific whole diameter I assume.
Here are a couple of hard to find ones. I really like the design of both of these.
LABELLE (1884-1891)
WATERVILLE CUTLERY CO. (I am not sure about when this Waterville dates to)

There are a couple of this type already posted, here they are again. I obtained all of these in a buy of some retired Dental equipment. The two groups of four are all from Pakistan. The other two Germany. I had no idea Pak. Made anything of this quality. With these, a couple of the tooth pullers and a few picks I suppose one could start their own Gitmo.

Junk sale - - bought box of old tools - - dug out these with no idea they were in there. Never knew Kershaw made anything but knives. My Honey had just snapped the handle off one of her favorite pair so now she is owner of a pair of KERSHAW scissors which makes her a side kick of a knife collector

Re: Some more scissors...
I found these nice little scissors in my desk the other day.
Good ol' Morley & Sons. They made a nice knife.
I'm curious about the serrations on the back of the blade. What is that for?

HOW LONG ARE THEY???.......I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS STYLE SCISSORS WERE CALLED "ELECTRICIANS" AND THE FILE WAS FOR WIRE CONNECTIONS???
NOT SAYIN' "D" IS WRONG .............JUST THINKIN OUT LOUD
THE ONES IM THINKIN OF ARE USUALLY 6" OR SO AND LARGER....SOME HAVE A SHEATH.

Re: Some more scissors...
Could be that too Josh
I have had old pairs of scissors in the original box with factory pamphlet and these serrations were identified as a fingernail file

Here's one for the scissor people:
"Ernest Wright and Son Limited is the last remaining manufacturer of handmade scissors and shears. Operating since 1902 in Sheffield, England, the company documents how one of their "putters", Cliff Denton, assembles a pair of scissors from scratch."

Re: Some more scissors...

Re: Some more scissors...
I don't collect them, just keep a few pair of heavy duty ones around for cutting leather and such. Here is a pair I got at a flea market a sometime back for $2. They were covered in rust, I cleaned them up, fixed the boogered screw, repainted the handles, and sharpened them. They have 6" blades and are great for cutting thick leather. The stamp is AUFDEMKAMPE HDW CO. I cannot find much info on this company only that it was an Ohio company in or around Cincinnati that started around 1900-1901. If anyone can dig up anything more definitive I would sure appreciate any info I can get.

Re: Some more scissors...
The past few days I've been wondering if there was a scissors thread on here....
Especially since I scored these in a lot of junk tools purchase a couple weeks ago.
One is a Griffon and the other a Clauss
