This lot of vintage stainless steel barber scissors came from the inventory of an old drug store in New York state. They have been in storage, brand new, for over 60 years! I have 69 pair available. Nearly all of these have been manufactured in Germany; nearly all are marked as "SS" or stainless steel. Three (3) are marked as being manufactured in America.<p>

They all are barber scissors with the finger hold and most, with the exception of fewer than five pair, are 7 1/2 inches long. (The others are 6 1/2 or 7 inches long.) All are in unused condition. Many of these have "stippled" handles (a fine art term I am using to describe the decorative indentations on the handles). Some do not.<p>

Several pair have been manufactured by Giesen Forsthoff of Solingen, Germany, a fine German manufacturer of stainless steel products since 1920. Some are attributed to a company in Allegheny, New York called Carl__on House (some of the script is not clear). They often have names like "Black Beauty", "Admiration", "Adoration", and "Prosperity."<p>

Price given is for the 69 pair. I will also consider requests for smaller lots as well.
