I did think of murder weapons too. Sweeney Todd's accessory cabinet perhaps

Very cool original accessories Steve. Now you posted pictures I know what they look like and can keep an eye out for them (as can everyone else).

The perfect weapon for a mystery to be solved by Angela Lansbury in the old series "Murder She Wrote" or in an Agatha Cristy type novel. Do you suppose this was the forerunner of box cutters?

That 's wicked cool. I have a little scissors like the one in the middle of your photo but it needs sharpening.
