That Camillus cleaned up real nice. I like the advertising shield and as slick looking cell.

Those scissors are at least 156 years old. From my limited understanding, there was a society wide militarization push in Prussia around 1860. Most young men were forced or pressured into military service. There was an immigration surge at the same time, and here in the Midwest they were looking for farmers. Those scissors probably rode a boat across the pond and made their way into a grandson's tool chest.

People always know to come to me for sharpening, or if they need to cut something. Anyway, one of my coworkers has been cleaning out his mother's house. He gave me all of these, said they had belonged to his grandfather. There's nothing horribly valuable there, but as most family possessions go, they can be priceless. He wasn't interested in them though, and I wouldn't typically turn down stuff like this.

The knives are cool though. There are some not marked, but others named sta-brite, Handy Andy Federal Cutlery, Geneva Stainless, Dexter Southbridge MA, Universal (LF&C?), and Warwick Sheffield. Like most knives of this type, they served a purpose and weren't always treated with TLC.

The strop is neat, and the crank sharpener is a Dazey Sharpit.
