Antique RARE Claus Sewing Scissors in the Shape of a Bird
Small Vintage Gold& Silver Toned Italian Stork Bird Sewing/ Embroidery Scissors. They measure 3.5" x 1.5" are marked CLAUS. They are still very sharp and cut very well. The head. Body, and feet are gold tone, while the beak and wings are silver tone. Why the stork. Since midwives were women who also did needlework in their spare time, they kept their medical tools handy-in their sewing basket. Maybe they even worked on their needlework while waiting for a baby to be born! The original stork scissors were not actually scissors, but clamps used by midwives in the 1800s to tie off the umbilical cord after a woman gave birth. The original beaks were offset, rather than straight, rounded instead of pointed, and the blades were dull, not for cutting fabric. Midwives often did needlework in their spare time and kept their medical tools ... morehandy in their sewing baskets. Many have found these odd looking storks mixed in the contents of antique sewing baskets. Over time, the storks morphed into the scissors we know and love today. Now a more refined looking stork, on the way to becoming scissors. It seems that the storks originated in France and spread to England, Germany the Orient and on to the Americas. These scissors have been seen on an advertisement dating an identical pair to 1899 by the Claus Co. Please let me know if you have any questions. o`7.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk%601d72f%2B6mwimiu%3Eo%607-140059149a5-0xfc-
