Do you remember these? Many finds mysterious tools in his grandparents’ home

After his grandparents passed away, a young man was going through their belongings and found something that he thought would be of interest to a friend.

Until they did some research online, the two had no idea what these metal objects were.

The two could not tell what these metal objects could possibly be until the found some information onLine.
The metal sticks are actually nutcrackers! Likely from the 1940’s or 1950’s, this type of nutcracker would be used to dig the actual nut out of a shell.

Nutcrackers like this were often in similar sets of seafood tools that included implements for cracking the shells of shellfish in addition to picks for pulling out the meat.

The nutcrackers could also often been found with a matching wooden bowl designed to look like a chestnut.
Many of us and our grandparents had similar tools at home, along with the fond memories that go with them!

Did you ever have nutcrackers or picks like this? Tell us about your favorite memories of them in the comments!
