Antique/vintage cigar scissors by Barker and England Ltd of Sheffield, England

Before the modern-day cigar cutters, the early dedicated tool for trimming the smoker’s end of a cigar was very much like this offering. Obviously, based on scissors but with a shaped curved cutting blade, I imaging that they did the job quite well. However later models of the same concept improved on the user’s grip and comfort by adopting much larger finger holes. This cigar scissor is British made but I am also listing a scissor branded as German made with exactly the same shape and dimensions so the pattern wasn’t unique to either firm. The scissors show the wear of considerable use and re-sharpening – indeed they are quite sharp even now. The metal looks as though is may be nickel plated. And the scissors are 114mm long with good firm action.
