Help Identifying These Scissors
« on: January 28, 2013, 07:19:59 pm »
Can anybody tell me what these are and offer an approximate age?  They appear to be some sort of vintage scissors, clippers, or snips, but I can't find any photos which resemble them.  I've looked at sewing, medical, kitchen, glass blowing, and other tools and I've had no luck.  There are NO markings at all on these scissors.

How big are they ??  Look like wick trimmers for candles !!  There is a small dark spot in the center !! These are newer than what we usually see !!

They are just shy of 8".   So they are modern and nothing special?
