The tin snips are all from my great uncle's estate, and are being sold as found right out of his garage. I believe they are from the 1940s and 1950s. They are all in quite nice condition, and most have some minor dings, scratches, and some surface rust. Some have wear to the old paint color finish. I show both sides in the photos. This pair of tin snips measures approximately 13 1/2" long. On each side of the handles, it reads WISS-18. On one side, under the jaws, it reads: WISS NEWARK N.J. U.S.A. 18. On the other side: INLAID CRUCIBLE STEEL. (Vintage wiss-18 tin snips--13 1/2" was posted and is owned by: Marylou Collier) |
