Simmons Pelican shears

 

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.
