This is a fancy nickel plated nutcracker or nut cracker with 2 matching nut picks made in the USA 1910-1920s.

The nutcracker measures 5 inches long and has fancy wavy machine engraved lines with ditches in a barber pole design and is made of nickel plated metal.

In our house growing up on the Pacific Coast, nutcrackers were more often than not used as crab crackers...whatever floats your boat!

The vintage nutcrackers and picks are in very good +++ used vintage condition, with only minor plate loss
