JOSEPH - Google Patent Search Now maybe I can give this one a rest.

"lemon squeezer" - heh heh - heh heh. Now I'll have to do a comparison test of the efficacy of squeezing vs cracking and get back to you with the results. Thanks very much for unearthing that link. Very interesting indeed.

The only 1881 patent I can find for a nutcracker: NUT-CRACKER - Google Patent Search

Curator of the Nutcracker Museum in Leavenworth. (Nutcracker Museum!? who knew?) google of "little giant nutcracker" results in exactly 1 link, to an ebay auction. Thanks everybody. This has been bugging me for years.

I've heard nutcracker, juicer, wrench, all sorts of ideas, but no one seems to know for sure. Found in my father-in-law's barn. Pictures by whitefork
