Question
I have a pair of scissors 6inches long. they are stamped with betsy ross and have the number 83 imprinted on the inside when you open them. they look like a regular scissor, the handles are not real thick.  Do you know anything about this particular scissor?

Answer
Hello Barbara.  I'm afraid I'm not up on my scissors!  There are a couple of books out dedicated just to them, but they might be hard to come by.  Did you check your local library?  If you are able to send me a digital picture of them, I'll pass it on to a friend who specializes in scissors to see if she can tell us anything.  My email address is:  bacchino@twcny.rr.com
