[QUOTE="theninthchevron, post: 258626, member: 5165"]hello everyone! So, I stumbled across a pair of nail clippers in a very odd way and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on them, if they're actually old, or if i just happened to purchase somebody's swaparoo. A little story on the topic: I was at target with my girlfriend, I went to grab some nail clippers, saw a Revlon package next to other nail clippers, purchased it, and went on my way. I get home and further inspect my purchase and the Revlon package had been resealed quite well and inside is where things got interesting. The nail clippers ended up being from the company Trim, but they look old, very very old. I could be wrong, but I'll let the pictures below speak for that. Inside of the clippers it says "Made In S.P.A" which after much research I can find no information on. The back has a matador fighting a bull, which clearly used to be painted, but has since faded with time. If anyone has any further info or any expertise on the topic, I'd love to hear your opinion! Much love, Brent [GALLERY=media, 2043]Clippers back by theninthchevron posted Jul 16, 2017 at 7:18 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 2042]Clippers front by theninthchevron posted Jul 16, 2017 at 7:18 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 2044]Clippers inside by theninthchevron posted Jul 16, 2017 at 7:18 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]
