{"product_id":"teeniest-stork-scissors","title":"Teeniest Stork Scissors","description":"\u003cp\u003e1 5\/8\" long x 5\/8\" wide. Made as a novelty, I imagine, in the early 20th c. Brassy steel \/ metal, with whiter metal showing through the gilding a bit. Apparently the original stork scissors in the 19th c. weren't sharp, but were clamps that midwives used for umbilical cords. Apparently the National Museum of American History has a very pair of stork scissors which once belonged to a midwife named Rosa Bonfante from Sicily, Italy. These are miniature - I tried them and they aren't really sharp, but they're too tiny for me to get a good grip on!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Weiner LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714201022746,"sku":"IG_0819_2026_006","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/teeniest-stork-scissors","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
