Hi
Can anyone identify this nipper? Its cast iron about 12-16 inches tall - its in an antique shop - owner has no provenance but says its 1930ish. I’ve used numerous search engines and can’t find it. Its expensive enough not to just buy it. Thanks

Re: Cast iron Nipper identification
Is it in the Nipper book?
The following are the same item, and say 1970's

Re: Cast iron Nipper identification
My buddy bought two just like the one in the picture at the same place and both were painted black. I bought one of them for $75 so Im sure he paid less. Based on that fact we assumed they were reproductions made probably in the 70s.
