Exceptional and unusually large 15½-inch pair of professional industrial shears manufactured by the Seymour Cutlery Company of Holyoke, Massachusetts, in the late 19th century. Featuring massive cast-iron construction, welded steel cutting blades, and a rich untouched age patina, these impressive shears were made for demanding commercial use, particularly within the textile industry.

The unusual pivot area retains multiple auxiliary holes, likely reflecting an original mechanical feature or later working modifications. The original SEYMOUR CUTLERY CO. maker’s stamp remains visible near the handle, firmly attributing the piece to the renowned Holyoke manufacturer.

With their monumental scale, honest working wear, untouched condition, and unmistakable industrial character, these rare Massachusetts-made shears make a striking piece of American industrial history and an impressive example of functional folk art.
