Selling a nice 8-piece collection of vintage sewing, embroidery, and tailoring scissors as a complete lot. This is a great mix of older European pieces that would suit a collector, textile artist, or display.
The highlights of the lot are the two large fabric shears, which are clearly stamped E. Bergfeld & Sohn (Solingen, Germany) under their "Globusmann" globe trademark, dating them around the 1920s to 1950s.
The 8-piece lot includes:
- 2× Large E. Bergfeld & Sohn "Globusmann" Shears (detailed ornate handles)
- 1× Vintage Mechanical Travel Folding Scissors (folds down flat)
- 1× Tailor's Specialized Buttonhole Scissors (with the stepped adjustment bars)
- 1× Classic Stork Embroidery Scissors (detailed feather design)
- 3× Small Decorative Needlework & Lace Scissors (various geometric and ornate styles)
Condition: All pieces are intact and move smoothly with clean, unchipped tips. The handles have a nice, natural gold-toned aged patina. The steel blades show some light surface rust and cosmetic oxidation consistent with age, but there is no deep pitting. They have been left uncleaned so you can choose to preserve the original patina or polish them up yourself.
