Another advertisement find. This one is for "Queen Shears" Sold by the H.Collett & Sons Dry Goods and Groceries. They also sold hardware and implements. The front says Henry Sears & Son 1865. I am thinking they are the makers of the shears. Card is in good shape except for one corner. Not sure of the age, but definitely old and fragile. I thought it had some pretty neat graphics to be so old. Thanks for looking.

   So that's what happens when the monkey gets the scissors!
   Parental discretion advised!

   Thanks hotkitties ! That is quite a scene going on in that house ! It looks like the dog wants no part of what is going on, and is running for his life ! I thought that was an unusual way to advertise scissors. Thanks for looking !

   I think you are right hotkitties ! That monkey was terrorizing everything in the house. Bird looks kind of calm, but has one leg up ready to take off !! Wait a minute.... are those feathers on the floor ???

    Thanks vintagemad, and thanks again to hotkitties for the humor !

    Thanks AR8Jason for the information. I will jot this information in my notebook for future reference. Am I to assume that Henry Sears & Co. became Sears and Roebuck ? That is a cool time line for how the company changed over time.

    Thanks Designer !

    No actually the Sears in "Sears and Roebuck" is a different Sears. You will find cutlery that bear the name "Sears and Roebuck" but only because they had someone else make it and put their name on it. Sears of S&R was Richard Sears, and no relation that I know of.
