This unique antique desk accessory set features a pair of ornate scissors and a companion letter opener, both in a silver-tone finish with embossed decorative handles. Dated "PAT'D 12 11 94" and marked "MADE IN U.S.A.," the scissors are a remarkable example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, likely used for sewing, paper, or general writing desk use.
The included letter opener showcases a similarly ornate handle and tapered blade, housed together with the scissors in a fitted deep burgundy/ brown sheath. While the exact metal composition is unknown, both tools have a silver-tone appearance with signs of age and patina.
