Hand forged "Chinese" Scissors:

By btrani, 14 May, 2009
Description

it is made of iron of some type and the piece that holds the two handles together is not really a screw like we have these days, but more like a screw that made by heating and shaping the metal. the blade is a bit worn but still cuts. I found it in an old house that was going to be renovated.

That type of scissor is usually used in gardening. Perhaps it has been used for bonsai. I don't know what the value would be, but I have seen them for gardening.
