Old Sissors

In 1935 my Dad was 13 yrs old and he became the eyes for an elderly blind neighbour when he travelled by train. They were in Melbourne, 98 miles away from home when word came through that my dad's father had passed away.
When Mr Curnow later passed away he left the land on which he lived and these tiny folding sissors to my dad.

What a wonderful story and set of scissors! Is the chain intended to clip to a belt loop?
