    Hope this helps:

    The C-Mon company was owned (and named for) Carl Monkhouse, Sr.
    When the company was in Germany - in the 1920s and 30s - Peter J. Michels was the exclusive US distributor.

    Monkhouse came to the US in 1937, and re-started the C-Mon company near Pittsburgh, PA. The company was later operated by his son, Carl Jr., who died in 2000. The C-Mon company still exists.
    The Peter J. Michels company went out of business in 1955.

    All of C-Mon scissors and razors marked as made in Germany are from 1937 or earlier. There is little historical information on this company's operations in Germany, and neither the scissors nor the original packaging generally have any date marked on them, so there is really no way to pinpoint the exact year that your scissors were produced, but it would be sometime between 1920 and 1937.
