A young man was recently going through his grandparents’ old things after they passed and showed an interesting find to a friend of his.
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.
They help to get to the edible portion of any nut, but are especially common to help one properly eat a chestnut.
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!

If you’re waiting for Jesus’ angels, you might pray or say something likе:
“Heavenly Father, as I wait for the angels of Jesus, I place my trust in your divine protection and guidance. Surround me with your holy presence and send forth your angels to watch over me and my loved ones. Grant me peace and assurance in the knowledge that your heavenly messengers are at work, carrying out your will and ministering to those in need. Help me to remain faithful and patient as I await the manifestation of your divine intervention. Amen.”
This prayer acknowledges the belief in the protection and assistance of angels sent by Jesus, while also affirming trust in God’s sovereignty and timing. It seeks comfort and reassurance in the presence of divine beings and invites their help and support during times of waiting and uncertainty.
