U.S. and CANADA ONLY! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD, INCLUDING PAYMENT AND SHIPPING INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. WE WILL SHIP ONLY IN THE U.S. AND CANADA AND ACCEPT ONLY U.S. FORMS OF PAYMENT. This auction is for one of the classic HMQ nutcracker sets consisting of 2 spring-jointed nickel-plated solid steel nutcrackerS andsix 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. There is one pin, you can see it in the top right hand portion of the photo, where the pin of the cracker is sticking out. I assume you have to press it back in, but I'm leaving it as is, b/c of the newness of this set. Buyer is to pay shipping and handling charges of $6.55 USPS shipping unless shipping to HI or PR and Canada where I reserve the right to add extra postage. NO BUSINESS OR PERSONAL CHECKS OF ANY KIND. PAYPAL USERS PLEASE USE A CONFIRMED SHIPPING ADDRESS IF YOU HAVE UNDER 50 POSITIVE FEEDBACK REMARKS. PAYMENT IS TO BE REC’D WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU HAVE A SHIPPING ADDRESS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. HAPPY BIDDING!
