Vintage wood handle hedge shears with dark aged handles, worn orange paint at the shoulders, and honest old-tool character. Cleaned, lightly sharpened, lightly de-rusted, then oiled and waxed for a solid usable and displayable vintage garden tool.

Detailed description

A good-looking pair of vintage hedge shears with solid wood handles, steel blades, and surviving orange paint at the shoulder area that adds strong old-garden-tool appeal. This pair has a darker, more aged look than a brighter restored example, which gives it a nice honest user/decor presentation.

These shears were cleaned, lightly de-rusted, lightly sharpened, and finished with oil and wax. The blades retain dark patina and visible age, rather than being taken to a bright over-restored finish. The wood handles are solid and show wear, grain contrast, and age-toned color. Edge contact was reported good before restoration, with no edge chips noted.

A nice piece for farmhouse or potting shed decor, a vintage garden tool collection, or practical light trimming use. A printed care sheet is included with all tools.

Ships carefully packed with blade tips protected.
