An Old Pair of Scissors

On them it says "BURDEKIN & Co.". There's more, but it's too obscure to make out. It seems there's a Burdekin River in Queensland, Australia that was named after a Mrs. Thomas Burdekin. I can't find any references to a manufacturer named Burdekin, though.

The pivot screw appears not to be the original. Its end has been peened and the scissors have insufficient tension.

These need work, and it would be worth doing -- aside from the pivot they're in fine condition. To the spare scissors drawer with them for now.
