Looking for information on old scissors I found

[GB Paleo]

I am a Tnet member but not a metal detector. I found these hiking awhile back and was wanting to know if somebody might know anything about them. there are no maknings on them but was hoping to see how old they might be?

I know on some scissors, if you open it all the way and look at the inside blade near the pivot point, you can sometimes see the maker's name.
Now granted, that "hint" comes from the only two pair of scissors I own -- both of which are the exact same.

Thx, I’m working and getting them open. If I’m successful I’ll look for markings

Based on the casting decoration of the finger holes, I'm thinking your scissors date to the late-19thc.
Probably lost from a Victorian Period ladies sewing basket.
Are they made of iron or brass.. if iron, they're in an amazing state of preservation and could easily be made useful again.

These scissors are similar in style to yours and are identified as, "Elegant antique small sewing scissors made in Victorian England, late 19thc."

Dave, thanks for your information above. Yes, these are Iron Scissors

Electrolysis on those would remove the rust and make them work again.
Very cool find in great shape.
