Vintage Hand Pruner Garden Shears 8-1/2"

Pruning shears have a long history of use in horticulture and agriculture. This style of shear with its strong construction and curved blades is typical of tools used for general garden maintenance. The visible rust and wear indicate significant age and use and thus, it was used a lot rather than just placed on a shelf. These tools were common throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
