 Antique & Vintage Sewing Accessories

Antique Scissors

Most of the sewing related antiques you will find on this and our other Sewing Accessories pages originated from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and were part two large and diverse antique sewing collections we are handling on consignment.  This is the first time most of these pieces have been out on the market in many years.

 

4 Unusual Pairs of Antique Scissors  These four pairs of scissors will make a great start or added addition to an antique scissor or sewing tool collection.  The large pair on the left is patented and I imagine the patent applies to the screw mechanism that allows them to be taken apart and also lets you adjust the tension between the cutting blades.  It's a great idea as I have had a lot of scissors that could have used this feature---and have you ever tried sharpening a pair when they are together?  But we don't have to worry about that anymore---nowadays we just throw them out and buy a new pair.  The ornate brass pair has a decorative sheathe to cover the blades.  The next pair are a fairly simple pair of buttonhole cutting scissors.  The last pair are delicate tiny steel scissors.                      Click for Pic     Click for Pic     Click for Pic
