Note the Makers marking is the full - J. Wiss & Sons.
Predates even the  use of the curvy cloud logo, which is very old.
The cutting heads are very large and have heaps of steel, later they would be trimmed down.
Also note 1 does not have any markings forged on the handle.
Made in USA
Condition:
Some general surface wear, nothing deep.
All cut well. Clean easy cuts of the thin sheet metal.
NOTES ABOUT MY TOOLS:
All tools are cleaned by hand only -
NO
power tools used.
Mechanism are oiled and lubricated and will be working perfectly unless specified.
Tools will often have a light coat of oil or tool wax when sent, they may be slightly greasy on first touch.
99% of tools listed are MADE IN THE USA, manufacturer origins will always be listed if known.
Basically I clean the tools and remove and rust of surface corrosion.
Oil and get the mechanisms working perfectly.
Give the metal a light polish.
Finish with light oil or wax for protection.
The result is great quality vintage tools for cheaper prices than brand new lower quality equivalents.
