Question
Hi there, I have a pair of scissors/shears. They are mad in Germany and say Adolf Menz wwe on them.  When I research them and Menz all I come up with is Menz's corkscrew.  Are these rare and or valuble? Any direction you can point me in will be very helpfull.  Thank you in advance for your time.  Regards, Tom

Answer
Hello Tom.  I would need to see good digital pictures of your scissors/shears.  There were many other uses of these implements besides sewing, so I'm not sure if I can help you or not.  There is a comprehensive book out dedicated to scissors, but it is in French.  You can attach photos to this forum.  Look forward to seeing them.  Barbara
