Antique
Silver Embroidery Scissors in Sheath

German
* Circa 1880
This tiny
pair of silver handled scissors
have a matching silver sheath. The silver is not marked but tests 800+
pure silver. The maker’s name stamped on the blades is Leckmann and I
think they’re German.

The
steel blades are tight with
intact
points and they cut beautifully to the tips. The silver is in
excellent condition with
no dents
or other damage.The sheath is lined in the original velvet and the
scissors fit very well. They measure 3 1/8″ long out of the sheath and
3 5/8″
with the sheath.

I stand behind
everything that I offer and guarantee that it is exactly as
presented.
