Snippy: Vintage Electric Scissors

A Blast From My Past!


I went to lunch with my sister Trishie today and we were
talking about some old stuff in our lives and she mentioned
Snippy.  I hadn't seen Snippy in decades.  Snippy is an
electric pair of scissors that was sold as a safe alternative
to regular scissors though the thought of little kids with 
electrical appliances can be a bit unsafe in my mind.


Trishie says Snippy is probably from the late 1950's, so 
before my time.  I know I inherited Snippy sometime 
in my childhood and I loved him.  He is cute as the 
dickens and I loved using him when I was little.  The
best part is, though Snippy is going on 60 years old,
he still works!  They don't make 'em like they used to!

Snippy will now be displayed in my studio with my old toys.
