Ok, not a great mystery, more of a question... the jaws on these snips are very sharp but only in the ends of the jaws, almost like they were for a special purpose, but for what? The maker Engineering Tools and Forgings, we've covered in a previous post.

Based on the handle shape, I think they may be these Florist's Snips and somebody has ground the back of the blades off to help avoid unintendedly snipping off multiple stems when you're trying to snip only one:

Good idea if that's what it is.
Buttonhole scissors - they reach over the edge of the fabric to cut the slot
