Antique Primitive 19th Century Blacksmith Forged Iron Shears, Scissors

Early to mid-19th Century forged iron shears in good, as-found condition! These primitive scissors were crafted by a blacksmith and are still functional. Crude, ancient-looking handles with finger holes crafted of curled iron. Found among other early tools in an old barn, these shears are well-preserved. Only minor surface rust along with a very old patina! There is a hallmark stamped in the outside of one of the blades that we can't completely make out but have included close-up photos. These are about 9 5/8 inches long when closed. This early, handcrafted tool is guaranteed old and authentic! Great looking, well made!
