I have a pair that I got from walmart sewing notions. They came in a pack with some needles and pins. I think I paid about 88 cents for it. I also have some made by frisker. I found them with scissors and they were called thread snips. I really like them when I chain piece.

I got my first ones in Japan in 1978...Clover make them and I am sure there are many clones. Good luck in your hunt.
P.S. the ones from Japan are wrapped in cord on the handle, orange and cream, with a tassel at the base. All of my others (about 5) are similar to the one you display.

Thanks for your help so far, but I am Specifically looking for the nippers with MGS marked on the blade. These have been the BEST I have ever used and I'd like a source for that particular brand. I have tried other brands already.
Yes, they are really handy to have at your sewing machine to clip threads and corners off of squares.

I couldn't find them either. Maybe they don't carry them anymore. I have checked Walmart and Michaels here in Phoenix and they don't carry them so I'm off to Hobby Lobby in the morning although they don't show them on their website. I haven't tried Harbor Freight yet.

This link shared by PaperPrincess has what you're looking for. To my eye, they look exactly like the photo you posted.
