Question
Hello!
I am in possession of a pair of 1951 ACME Kleencut Pinking Shears, with a certificate of authenticity.
They are in relatively good condition, if a little dull. I have no pictures right now, but I can get them for you if you may need to see them.
My question is how much should I expect them to be worth were I to decide to sell them off?  

Answer
Hello Mariea.  There are books on scissors and collectors groups for scissors, but scissors are not my area of expertise as there are scissors for many other purposes besides sewing.  Have you tried searching the internet for information on the company or searching ebay for similar items to determine value?  Sorry I can't be of more help.  Barbara
