Re: Some more scissors...
Cool shearing devices folks!
Here's a pair of pruning shears with what I think are Japanese markings. I've always wondered if they were ever used for Bonsai pruning.

Re: Some more scissors...
Thanks Beechtree! I did use 'em quite a bit last summer, harvesting zucchini's. They worked great! I've tried a couple of times, but havn't been able to find just the right spring for 'em yet.

Re: Some more scissors...
I bought these two 10" scissors recently. Just had to have them. They are nice scissors though.
I didn't sharpen them and they cut like a dream.
The U.S.A. made pair says "Deluxe". I guess that explains the shim between the blades.
I wonder how many more scissors I need?

Re: Some more scissors...
Nice Joe. That Klass looks like a really good pair. I know what you mean about how many scissors one can have. But, they are infectious.
Here are a few oldies.
AMERICAN SHEAR Co. (Top) Seamstress shears. Marked number, 1. They Measure about 11.5". A really swell pair.
EMPIRE KNIFE CO. WINSTED CT. PATENTED FEBY 4 69 (Bottom). Large button hole scissors with adjusting screw, 5".
HOLLEY MFG Co. Button hole scissors 3.75". (missing adjusting screw)
HOLLEY (Looks like HOLLFY, but I do believe it is HOLLEY). Button hole scissors 4". I think these are older than the previous pair. They have no whole for an adjusting screw.

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)

knifegirl888;
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?

Re: Some more scissors...
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."

Great scissor collection K7K, the Joseph Rogers are really something special. What a fine piece of craftsmanship.

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.
