Hello, I am currently studying the history of our local masonic chapter 12 in Mankato MN. I have a masonic penny (one of the keepsake type of coins that state "ONE PENNY" on the front and on the back have different symbols depending on the chapter. This coin is for the Chapter # 7 in Mankato MN and includes a symbol of a pair of scissors, which I am unable to find any information on. I have read through several historical documents for the Mankato Masonic Temple but have found no reference to the symbol or the coin. I believe the coin to be circa 1910 - 30. Primarily my question is regarding the symbol of the scissors. Can anyone tell me about the symbolism of scissors within the freemason society? Any information would be much appreciated
