Back in the day, nutcrackers like this were part of a handy set of seafood tools. This set included various implements for cracking the shells of shellfish, as well as handy picks for extracting the delicious meat inside.
And that’s not all! These nutcrackers were often accompanied by a beautiful wooden bowl designed to resemble a chestnut. It was a delightful addition to the collection, adding a touch of charm and warmth to the dining table.
For many of us and our beloved grandparents, these tools were a staple in our homes. They hold a special place in our hearts, evoking cherished memories of seafood feasts and joyful gatherings around the table.
