Antique SEWING ITEM -- FIGURAL BIRD SCISSORS -- was likely produced in the Victorian era of the late 1800s or early 1900s. The scissors measure approximately 4.25 inches long. The piece is embossed on both sides, molded into the the shape of a crane or other similar type bird. I can see no mark as to the maker or country of origin. Please refer to the attached images for more information on size, construction, and condition. Overall condition: Solid VG..... The piece has slight surface wear and some corrosion/tarnishing. However, there are no breaks, missing pieces, or other serious flaws. It is overall in nice shape and it will display quite well. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage sewing items. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime collector and she especially loved sewing memorabilia and antique buttons. She is downsizing, so my brother and I am helping her sell some of her collections. (You can find the items my brother is listing at sellmomsstuff1). But I am not completely familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of her collecting specialties. I try to use various notes she left with items to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, may not be terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE SEWING ITEMS, ANTIQUE BUTTONS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES.
