This vintage advertisement for dressmakers’ or housekeepers’ straight and bent shears is from the April 1894 issue of The Delineator magazine.
Here is a black and white clip art version of each pair of scissors from the ad.
You can find another vintage scissors advertisement (and clip art) on my blog here.

I looooove scissors!! Thank you very much for sharing!
That’s great to know, Tinne! I will keep it in mind when I’m browsing through my old magazines.
Those bent shears look just like my Wiss pair!
Thanks for all the wonderful freebie art.
