These items are from the estate of a couple who started in the antiques and collectibles business as newlyweds in 1955. They collected, bought, sold, and traded a huge array of items before the Mister died in 1998, and the Missus "retired" in 2021. The remainder is their children's inheritance.  The Missus is Seller's Momma, and she is excited to see her treasures go to new homes!

This listing is for a pair of embroidery scissors with celluloid handles and either nickel-plated or forged steel blades. They were produced between the 1920s and 1940s. The handle shape reflects the transition between late Victorian and Art Deco styles. This specific cream color with faint grain-like lines was frequently marketed as "French Ivory" or "Pyralin" to mimic the look of genuine elephant ivory. These scissors are sharp enough to easily cut paper, but have not been tested on thicker products. The end of the blades are slightly curved. These were also sometimes used as cuticle scissors. These scissors would be a great addition to a collection, display, or for other use.
