Re: small german original metal bird nut cracker?

So many repos today would have to see it to determine age ,  but just from the description value would probably go for 35 to 75 dollars ,  I cant see the details from the photo, probably german or european in origion.

The updated photo from the box gives this a date of the forties or fifties , be sure to include picture in your auction ,  seems to be german in origion , value stays the same
