Antique Scissors




id you ever think WHEN scissors were invented? I didn't... Who was that clever guy, who discovers the power of two blades? Who knows...
But I know that the first perfect csissors was made in 1761 when Robert Hinchliffe fron London produced the first pair of modern-looking scissors made from hardened and polished cast steel.
There is a good example of German scissors 1875.














Rooster-looking created to take off top of hard-boiled egg - wierd, ha?




Last petit tresor from France.
What a lovely treasures you can find on e-bay this week...
