Those are awesome :D:D:D

I don't know. They look exactly like a pair I have that are Gingher's. Of course, Gingher could have copied them from this original... but buyer, beware!

What is uber?

They look just like my gold plated Gingher's. vintage? sure, they were my grandmother's.

I agree with Ceil - careful there, even the gold plate vintage Gingher's like mine generally sell at auction for about $25. There are whole websites and collector's articles devoted to vintage and antique scissors. Read up so you don't get ripped off. OR go to Joans with a 50% off coupon and get a nice shiny new pair of Gingher's stork scissors with a case and everything.

Interesting story behind the scissors. Thanks for sharing

"Uber" is a a german adjective adopted by the younger generation meaning "to the extreme" or "excessive" eg., uber rich or in this case, uber cool. :lol: (Though I am quite old, I myself, keep very up to date on the language of the young though my teenaged neice who keeps me current and uber trendy). hahaha

So the seller didn't even list a price? Or did I miss it?

Here's the Gingher's - also gold plated-

And there are cheaper versions out there, some as low as $8.

Buyer beware is an understatement (although maybe not intentionally from the seller's standpoint).

Interesting! :)

There are tons of reproductions of this design out there...

The last time I was at a flea market I found a booth with a lot of the gold stork small scissors. Looks just like the picture. I bought a pair. I think I gave $6 for them and they are very nice scissors and sharp! I have been happy with them much more then I thought I would be. I wish I had bought more. Some were made in the rooster design and some were very fancy scroll work. There is no brand name on them anywhere that I can see. It was a lucky buy.

That is interesting that it is an old term. I do lothe trendy so I will refrain from using it lol.
