This auction is for one of the classic HMQ nutcracker sets consisting of 1 spring-jointed nickel-plated solid steel nutcracker and six nut picks. This set appears to be new, in it's original display box. The HMQ stands for Henry Marcus Quackenbush (1847-1933), a rather prolific inventor, who patented his nutcracker in 1913. (He had invented the extension ladder in 1867 and an air pistol in 1871, the year he established H. M. Quackenbush Co.) When he died, his family incorporated the company as H. M. Quackenbush Inc. and continued to manufacture and sell products, including these nutcracker sets, until at least 1976. This nutcracker is 5" long and measures 4-1/8" across in the open position. The top 1-1/4" inside surface of each leg has a series of notches to grip a nut while you squeeze the handles together to crack it. Top crosspiece carries the HMQ logo. The six nut picks are 4-3/4" long, ending in curved points for digging the nutmeats out of your freshly cracked nuts. All five pieces are in pristine condition with no dents, dings, or bends. Please check my other items up for auction. good luck and thanks for looking.
