Vintage HMQ Nutcracker Set with 6 Picks and original Box. For crabs or lobster

The HMQ silver nutcracker set was originally introduced in 1913 by Henry Marcus Quackenbush, who patented the spring-jointed nutcracker design that year. These nutcrackers, marked with "HMQ," were manufactured by the H.M. Quackenbush Company in Herkimer, New York, and became widely popular throughout the 20th century.
