    Description

    My great grandfather was a professional tailor. He used these for suit making (Is that what the S.M.S. - "Suit-making shears" stands for?) They may also be upholstery...I'm not sure. Sequence # is 68.
    When my grandfather died, by father kept them and being a magician, he would use them to cut rope for his tricks. The size of the shears made the trick more dramatic because of their size!
    They work perfectly and are made probably better than anything you can get today! They are heavy! When you cut, the handle is parallel with the fabric on the table.
