    Recently found these with a metal detector in my back yard. They were under 2 1/2 feet of dirt. They appear to be stainless steel. Curious as to how old they are and any information about them.

      I have a pair of scissors that look just like yours that were passed down to me by my grandmother, saying they belonged to her aunt. They would be about 142 years old now. I have just finished a story about them and would like to email it to you. I don’t have too much information, but do show that mine say "Germany" on the top side by the screw and "Wyeth Warranted" on the other. That's about all I know, but it was fun to see yours!
