The story is that grandma had traveled from Iowa to California shortly after I was born to see her newest granddaughter. Being the particular person that she was, she insisted Mom have a better pair of scissors with which to cut my tiny little nails. So, she walked around the corner to a drugstore and purchased this pair. She then proceeded to instruct Mom (as mother's do) NOT to lose those scissors as she paid $25.00 for them. And $25.00 was a lot of money in 1957! Well, Mom certainly listened to her as she still had them. I do remember using them all the time at home. How they survived all the moves and years I have no idea, but now they belong to me.

I remember using them. Never heard the story though. Considering inflation, those cissors should be worth about $500. HA HA
Wow! I am amazed that Grandma could keep track of those for so many years! Were they the "top of the line" back then? They sure cost a lot.
For them to still be around amazes me since I can't keep track of a pair for more than a day! Whenever I find a pair laying somewhere I consider it a great day!
I'm having a riot it Iowa Kim, LOVE the Brass Armadillo!! I never got to Kalona, but when I come back in the fall with my sister and our frien, we have that on the list of things to do!
