Question
I have a pair of SALEM WITCH FIGURAL SCISSORS DEPICTING A WITCH ON A BROOM; SILVER TONE METAL; MARKED "SALEM 1692, REGISTERED GERMANY." They are about 4" long. Do you know how much they are worth please?
Hello Andres. You don't say what kind of condition your scissors are in, which greatly impacts the value, so I will assume they are in mint condition (undamaged in any way; showinig no signs of wear). Your scissors are cross collectible as people do collect Salem Witch items and they are a sewing collectible as well. Your scissors are valued in the $75-100 range. Barbara
