| 10N - "N" Heavy Pattern |
| 15 1/2" full length, 8 inch cut with Wiss Simplex Shear Bolt (allowing them to be taken apart for removing lint and dust).
This appears to have been restored with new paint. It was sold on the UK eBay for $59, but shipping to the US would have doubled that.

| 27 - 7" Dressmakers Bent Trimmers |
| I bought this pair as these are a good example of the workmanship during the period 1963-1976 when these were made. The packaging is some sort of pegboard holder. The 12 lovely pictures were taken by the eBay seller.

| When this passed through eBay in May 2011, I did not have any old catalogs. I thought that this must have been Italian made, but not so labeled. In later years anything ornate was made over there. So I didn't bid. Now I find it in my 1915 catalog on page 34.

| These were so lovely that I bought them. Later I found them on Page 34 of the 1915 catalog.

| Silver Plated Pinking Shears |
| I have no idea why such an item exists. Pairs passed through in January 2008 and December 2009.

| This was a popular style over the years. Based on the sleeve these were definitely made after 1943, and probably before 1948. This would appear to be old enough that it was made by J Wiss. In later years these were made in Italy.
