Description: The company was founded in 1848, however these scissor are clearly far more modern--probably mid to late-twentieth century. [The model is mentioned but not pictured in catalogues from 1950: catalogue 1, pricelist].
The J-7 has been around for a while. Here are some catalog entries:

Yours is on the older side. I'd say 1940s. Maybe 1950s.
