Up for sale is a lot of three pre-owned sewing and craft scissors, including a pair of WISS pinking shears, a pair of Richards of Sheffield scissors, and one yellow-handled utility/sewing pair.
I decided to keep these together as a useful little sewing and craft lot rather than separate them individually.
The larger black-handled pair is marked WISS and features the traditional zig-zag pinking blade. The metal and painted handles show plenty of honest wear from age and use, including scratches, scuffs, and finish loss, but the cutting teeth remain intact.
The gold-tone pair is marked Richards of Sheffield, England along with “Radiant Golden Age Rustless” and “Inlaid Stainless Steel.” These also show surface scratches, finish wear, and other cosmetic signs of previous use.
The smaller yellow-handled pair has stainless-colored blades and shows normal cosmetic wear. I was not able to confidently identify the maker from the remaining markings, so I would rather leave that unspecified than guess.
All three pairs are being sold in their current pre-owned condition. I have not polished or refinished them, so the photos give a good representation of the age, wear, markings, and finish as they sit today.
Please take a close look through the photos, including the ruler shots and close-ups of the maker markings. You will receive all three pairs shown in the listing.
