A Pair of Vintage Golden Age Stainless Steel Pinking Shears by Richards of Sheffield
Description
A pair of vintage dressmaking pinking shears from the Golden Age range produced by Richards of Sheffield. The shears are constructed from stainless steel and feature a polished gold-tone finish. They are designed with serrated blades to create a decorative zigzag edge on fabric to prevent fraying. The item is housed in its original retail presentation box, consisting of a clear plastic lid and a black and yellow cardboard insert featuring mid-century graphic design and typography. The metal near the pivot screw is stamped with the marks STAINLESS, GOLDEN AGE, REGD, SHEFFIELD, and MADE IN ENGLAND. The packaging includes the text GOLDEN·AGE REGD Pinkers, SHEFFIELD MADE, and PRECISION ACTION.
Condition report:
The shears are in excellent vintage condition, appearing to have had little to no use. The metal finish remains bright and clear across the blades and handles. The original plastic packaging is intact but exhibits minor surface scuffing. The cardboard insert shows light age-related wear to the edges but remains structurally sound.
