There are already several examples of these trimmers uploaded to this site. I thought I would include some photos of mine only because I didn't see any other examples with the Yonkers, New York labeling. I think the fact that it was made in Yonkers might make it a fairly early example, but I'm not sure about that. I picked this up at a swap meet. It is missing the handle and needs a bit of clean up work.

According to Jeff McVey, Lion moved from Yonkers, NY to Shelton, CT in 1905. So that would place the date on this trimmer some time between 1900 and 1905.
