Here is a nice shapely pair of shears made by E. C. Simmons. Buy them for the sculpture.
E E Simmons has been making and sourcing scissors and shears since 1874, adopting the trademark Keen Kutter in the 1880's. The company sold a full line of hardware including wood planes, more information here. It was acquired in 1940 by Shapleigh Hardware which closed up in 1960.

I must be watching the wrong movies because when I see these shears I immediately picture some mafioso extracting information and fingers from some poor sap.
And I don't know how in the hell-i-can!
This is the working end of a pair of long-handled pruning shears with the wood handles missing, probably model AB S20 shown here:
