<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Elle Emsey, post: 10565151, member: 94122&quot;][ATTACH=full]530419[/ATTACH] These sheathed scissors came from my Norwegian great-grandmother who lived from 1866 to 1945 in Bergen. I would like to identify their provenance; I am guessing my great-grandmother acquired them between 1880-1900? They have no markings that I can discern. They still cut but the blades have become pitted; the sheath has some hairline cracks along the welding line on one side</p><p><br /></p><p>Measurements:</p><blockquote><p>scissors = 9.5 inches/24 cm long;</p><p>blades = about 6 inches/15.5 cms long;</p><p>sheath = 7 5/8 inches/19.5 cms;</p></blockquote><p>scissors in sheath = 11.25 inches/28.5 cms long.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
