The Cabinet of Scissor Curiosities

Scissors: An image of a pair of American, industrial, carbon scissors with japanned handles. Pivot type is a bolt and washer, pivot area is reinforced. The blade is marked 'BOKER' inside a stylised shape, but this doesn't look like most examples of either Böker or Boker Tree Brand marks. Image reproduced from Goss (2012).
