]]> Comment on Pinking Shears – A Lucky Find by James Williams http://williamsclothiers.com/2011/08/pinking-shears-a-lucky-find/comment-page-1/#comment-3669 James Williams Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:34:46 +0000 http://williamsclothiers.com/?p=615#comment-3669 Hi Vivian, I'd date these to that time period as well. I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with period pinking machines. It seems they would have had different style blades for different affects? Scallops, zig-zags, etc? When I helped a friend with her chemise, the pattern called for scalloping along one of the edges. Thanks for your comment! Jim Hi Vivian,

I'm under the impression, judging by the box and shape of the shears themselves..these would date to the 1930s or 40s. In the mid 19th c. pinking was done with a chisel and then later on in the century there were pinking machines. These were machines that fastened on a table similar to a ginder, etc. and then a handle was turned that ran the fabric through the machine. I was lucky enough to find one of these at an antique shop this summer. You can also find them occasionally on ebay. Most of the pinking seen on period orignal clothing is done on a trim to keep from raveling in lue of hem. I would abe interested in visiting with you about any documentation you find on your shears and other pinking machines Regards Vivian Murphy Hello…In reagards to the pinking shears you show.
