Hello Vintage Seamstresses! I have recently been given these lovely Henry Boker Solingen Cutlery Pinking Shears – in the original box!. I believe they belonged to my husband’s grandma or great-grandma.
I can’t date them though – do you have any ideas? They were bought in Australia, but were manufactured in the ‘British Zone Germany’. I’d love any information you may have!
My blog if you’d like to visit!

'British Zone Germany' would suggest Western Germany just after the Second World War – between 1945 and 1949 – so that dates them quite closely, I think.

Thank you! That is very helpful. I am going to give them a go this weekend – hopefully they are still doing their job!
