Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy (brass) nutcracker handle. It dates to the modern era, late 19th-early 20th centuries. There are ridged line decorations around the handle and the outer face of the 'cracking' part looks to have a floral design punched into the metal. The inner 'cracking' face has triangular pits which give way to angular metal points to aid the cracking, although these are worn. This face also has a groove to accomodate the hinge which would connect the two nut cracker handles.
