RECIEVED FROM AN OLD LADY MRS. RUPERT FOR SHOVELING SNOW IN IN THE EARLY 1960'S, I HAD ALWAYS LIKED YHIS AND AN OLD LAMP SHE HAD IN HER HOUSE AT THE TIME AND I WAS GIVEN A CHOICE OF EITHER ITEM AND I TOOK THIS ? I LIKED IT ? I AM LOOKING FOR ANYONE THAT CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ITEM AS FAR AS THE VALUE AND WHERE IT CAME FROM ? THE LADY WAS IN HER 70'S AT THE TIME AND SHE SAID SHE GOT IT FROM HER MOTHER THAT IS WHY I GUESSED AT THE AGE OF AROUND THE EARLY 1900'S ? ANY HELP WOULD BE APRICIATED .

I think that is a shell cracker for crab, lobster etc. What is that on the bottom, a label?

Hi Kathy,
is there any way i can find out what this may be? How much it may worth? where did it come from? It looks like there used to be a label on the bottom but this is how it was when i recieved the dish. i alwasys thought it was a nut cracker and thought anything different. that would make sense
thank you

I was thinking it may have come from Hawaii or some other tropical place like a tourist item. If you can identify the wood it may narrow it down, looks like teak but I am not sure.
Hopefully someone else on here may have an idea of age and value, I do not want to guess.
