Found this item in an antique store in Crawfordsville Indiana. We have theorized that it is a nut cracker but not sure. It is made from cast iron and has a hole opposite the threaded shaft which does not stay consistent with the nut cracker idea. It is fairly heavy duty construction. Any ideas?
Hi, I believe it's a nutcracker :)
Would say nut cracker too (notice the coquilla nut pattern)
Perhaps he hole allows extruding nut paste, LOL ;-)
Looks scary... ouch..
agree on the nutcracker; here's is similar in package:

Thanks all for confirming my suspicion that it was a nutcracker. Especially tallcakes who provided the package photo. I really enjoy this site .
