Comments:
These photos are courtesy Rob Tesori, who rescued this early shear from its life as an outdoor plant stand. A No. 1 shear is listed in an 1852 advertisement from this maker so it could be earlier than our guesstimated date of manufacture.

Rob reports that after a little cleaning and lubricating the shear was able to make a nice clean cut in sheet metal.
