Description: | A fragment of one arm from a cast set of post-medieval to modern copper-alloy nut crackers. The lower part of the handle is missing although a rectangular half of the crushing box remains. It is possible to see where the hinge was attached although this is missing. The remaining part of the crushing box has five lines of four triangular incised notches for grip and is separated from the rest of the arm by a moulded collar. The end of the crushing box is semi-circular in section but the reverse of the box is faceted, making it trapezoidal in section. The arm is semi-circular in section. The fragment measures 59.91 mm long, 12.62 mm wide, 7.27 mm thick and weighs 20.5 grams.
