Soviet-Era Ukrainian Scissors
Vintage—Soviet-era cast metal scissors (we think steel or iron, but aren't certain), 7.5" long, 2.75" wide at handles. Handles are dipped in a green rubberized material. We made a small repair to a tear in this material (see photos). When they came to us, these scissors had a lot of rust. We've cleaned it off and oiled the metal for protection, but dark spots remain where the rust had begun (if you keep the metal dry and lightly oiled, the rust will not return, see photos). I love the cast design on the blades—rare to see in scissors as the decorative portion is usually on the handles. Still tight and cut well. If treated nicely, will last for years to come. Good condition.
