This charming antique paper cutter is still functional with a little bit of blade-sharpening. It's petite, "desk top" size (11"x11" w/ 15" handle) would make it a perfect holder for your tea and reading glasses, or maybe a plant? The scissor-style handle adds even more interest! Similar styles from Eastman Kodak and Milton Bradley feature the same cutting fixtures, but this one was clearly "individualized" and most similar to a brand called "Dandy" found online. Charming. Functional? Intriguing...
