- Notes
- Nail scissors with circular handles, screwed together near the blades; between the handle and blades there is a half-circle cut out with a tapered edge. A thin rectangular eyelet is found on the obverse, below the handle. The blades taper at the ends. A nail file is attached to a rectangular case, which covers the scissor blades. At the very end of the file is a tapered and curved point, which locks into the eyelet on the scissors. Narrative: Given to Dana Borenstein by an American soldier in the Jewish D.P camp in Stuttgart, West along with a can opener. Dana kept them and used them until 2009 when she gave them to her nephew Stefan (her husband's brother's son) who could remember them from the D.P camp.
