Antique Hand-Forged Iron Sheep Shears Primitive Spring Scissors

An authentic antique early 20th-century (or earlier) primitive hand-forged steel sheep shears. This classic agricultural tool features a traditional single-piece "spring bow" loop handle that automatically reopens the blades when released. The broad, triangular cutting blades feature integrated mechanical stops to ensure smooth, continuous alignment.

A beautifully preserved piece of historic animal husbandry and blacksmithing history, making it a fantastic addition to a collection of early American farm tools, a rustic barn display, or primitive country home decor.

Condition:
Great antique condition with a rich, dark, stable forge patina. The single-piece steel structure remains entirely sound with light surface pitting and minor wear consistent with historic farm use. The spring bow retains excellent tension and flexibility, functioning exactly as it should. Blades are clean with no deep cracks or structural damage. Sold strictly as-is for collection or display.
