Duke's Nutcracker
This is one of those gadgets that's worth it's weight in gold. It does a great job of cracking open pecans. I had seen this sitting on the counter at a farm market atEastern Market in Detroit. Pecans are difficult to crack open without crushing the nut inside. I asked the cashier if the gadget was any good because this was the first that I ever saw such a thing. He said yes, I took his word and after using it once, I would pay twice as much for it!
Unfortunately, other than that this is manufactured by the Duke Company in West Pointe, MS., I have no information regarding the inventor.
Here is a bit about the DUKE Company:
Our company was originally established in 1938 as a local Pecan and Fur Skin merchant business which we still operate to this day. The company is in its third generation of family ownership led by T.A. Duke and Bill Duke. We began producing our line of traps during 1986 as a complementary business to our Fur Skin business and have expanded our product line over many years.
