About Antique and Vintage Scissors

The first modern steel scissors were made in the late 1700's, and countless varieties have since been produced (some were given out as commemorative keepsakes at important gatherings and events). Sewing scissors, which can be recognized by their smaller blades and handles, are often packaged with other sewing accessories.
