Object Description

An extremely fine Irish yew wood lever action nut cracker, carved with a squirrel on the top eating a nut. The handles have incised leaf decoration and there is an adjustment at the foot by moving a small peg which can increase or decrease the size of the grooved jaws for different sized nuts. The whole is in good condition and has a lovely colour and patination.
