This appears in Schollhorn's 1929 catalog, costing $12.00....per dozen!

It's in good working condition - the pivot is very solid, the spring action is still strong, and the blade is sharp.

It also has a locking lever that keeps the cutter in a closed position, so you can carry it in your pocket.

There's a great patina of age and use as well. See pics. 

None of your gardening pals have one this cool.

(Update: I just tried it out on some unsuspecting plants in my backyard - cuts like a champ!)
