Question
While cleaning out my recently departed mother's residence, I found a pair of sewing scissors which say Borschell Italy, have the bust of a Pope on one side and the words "Annus Sanctus" 1950 on the other side.  Would this item have any collectible value or do I just have a very fancy pair of scissors to use?  Thanks much.

Answer
Hello Penny.  Are you able to send me a picture of the scissors and the marks?  I need to see them to be able to give you any kind of information.  You can attach pictures to this forum or send them to me at bacchino@twcny.rr.com  Hope to hear from you.  Barb
