These 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 each pair. I will also consider requests for buying by the lot as well.
