During my research, I learned that historians believe the earliest form of scissors were developed in prehistory and would have looked something like the sheep shearers of today. I picked up this pair of 4″ primitive scissors for $1 at the Gristmill Antique Center where I have my booth. I’m not sure if they are genuine antiques or reproductions. I’...
Scissors come in all shapes and sizes and and are designed for a variety of different purposes, including to cut hair, paper, fabric, or thread. Seamstresses, gardeners, school children, medical professionals, and regular people use them every day. We’d be lost without them!
Because of its large iron ore deposits, Sheffield(England) was a mecca, as early as 1160, for cutlery production. By the mid-1800’s, over 100 cutlery manufacturers operated out of Sheffield, filling an eager market with high quality knives and scissors. 1. The first pair of scissors (top) is marked “I. Mars, Sheffield” along with a crown and the le...
Solingen(Germany), perhaps Sheffield’s most serious rival, also had a fine reputation as a source of quality cutlery. In fact, it was known in Northern Europe as the “City of the Blades,” and it remains the cutlery center of Germany to this day. Interestingly, I read on Wikipedia, that a band of sword-smiths from the city broke their “guild oath” i...
Not surprisingly, immigrants from both Sheffield (UK) and Solingen (GER) were primarily responsible for establishing the first cutlery businesses in America. Connecticut’s Naugatuck Valley, Newark (NJ), and Fremont (OH) became centers for scissor production in this country (American Scissors & Shears: An Antique & Vintage Collector’s Guide).
I learned while preparing this post that scissors measuring 8″ or more should technically be referred to as “shears.” Therefore, this blue handled pair are not scissors, they are shears. In additions, shears will have one finger hole larger than the other. In my scissor/shears-buying experience, I have come across many unmarked examples, like this ...
A beginning scissor collector could focus on a brand, a city of manufacture, or even a color(!). Or you could focus on function. For example, a diverse collection of school scissors in a rainbow of colors would make a fun collection. If space is an issue for you, you may consider collecting folding scissors–a fascinating little collectible. The pai...
All of the examples you’ve seen today are part of my personal collection. It’s kind of an accidental one that has taken on a life of its own, LOL. Scissors and shears like these can typically be purchased for 50¢ to $1.00 at garage and estate sales and are worth between $5-20.00 apiece. Expect to pay $20-100 or more for antique, ornate, or Sterling...
I store many of my scissors and shears by standing them upright in a flower frog, like this clear glass one. This works with cage-type frogs, too. You can also display them in a vintage frame,as you see here. I have framed several pair and sold them from my booth at the annual Christmas craft show I participate in every year. They sell quite nicely...
Alfred Hitchcockdirected movies that involved any number of different murder weapons. But he once said, “A murder without a gleaming pair of scissors is like asparagus without hollandaise sauce.” Who doesn’t remember the nightmare-inducing Edward Scissorhands? Not because it was so scary but because scissors for hands are horrifying! And finally, I...
