Antique Figural Eiffel Tower Embroidery Scissors

These little figural steel scissors are in the form of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The shanks have very nice engraving on both sides, and the blades form the top of the tower. The blades are tight with intact points, and they cut very well to the tips. The condition is excellent with no rust or other damage. They measure 3 7/8" long. They are marked "DEP" under one of the blades. That stands for Dépose. This means the design has been registered with the French government, like a copyright.

Despite the name, this organization is for people who collect needlework tools And thimbles. It's the largest collector’s group in the world focusing on these wonderful little pieces of history.

The membership benefits are outstanding. They have a convention every two years where you'll have a chance to attend great programs and meet others sharing your interests. The next one is in San Antonio, TX in September of 2026. You will receive an excellent quarterly magazine, the "Bulletin". The member's sections of the website have dozens of research articles, hundreds of fake and repro items to beware of and price guides. There is also a chat room where you can ask questions and get expert feedback about your collection. Check them out today at thimblecollectors dot com.
