R. Heinisch taylor or leather scissors

Note that if you are left handed these scissors are not for you. They are form-fitted so a right-handed person can use them with ease. There is also a little, protruding metal "stand" on the underside of the handle that helps keep the scissors vertical as they are pushed forward across a table surface. I have large hands, and these seem just a bit small for me, which would make sense in that the average American was just a smaller person back when these were new. I've seen various listings which date these somewhere around 1900 or earlier, but I do not know whether that is so. They are undoubtedly old and, for what it's worth, very, very cool.

Dimensions: overall length - 12 1/4"; length of blade cutting edge - 6"

Weight before packaging: 1 pound, 6 ounces

Condition: I tamper with items as little as possible, leaving any decisions about restoration or repair up to the buyer. These have been handled a lot, but I see no damage. I've cut both paper and cardboard with them and in both cases they sailed right through with a very straight cut. There is some black paint remaining on the handles, but most has worn off. The bare metal has a nice, hand-and-fabric rubbed patina, with no significant rust.

Economy shipping on this will be $7.80 to $13.60 depending on your distance from Minnesota, and whether the Postal Service or FedEx makes sense for your distance. I prefer that you wait until I send you an invoice, so I can get you the best shipping rate, but if you pay the amount defaulted in by eBay, please do count on paying that amount; if I see they overcharged you significantly, I’ll include a few bucks’ rebate in a zip-loc bag.  Free local pickup is an option if you find yourself coming through Saint Paul.  I ship only to the U.S., so no international transactions, thank you.

I’m a small business of one (1), so if supporting small business is important to you, you can’t go wrong shopping with Ron. I in turn try to spend my money in a way that does not reward greed or other mean behavior. I sure do like sending things out the day after bidding ends, and in order for me to do that, I need payment by noon on shipping day.  If you want changes in shipping, please let me know that before paying, so we can adjust the cost up or down on the invoice, as necessary. My record of high customer service is hard-earned, and I wouldn’t want any unnecessary blemishes on it. If any problems arise, please allow me the opportunity to make it right before you leave negative feedback.
