2. Retrieve a Hairdryer
Yes, a regular hairdryer! Plug it in and set it to a medium-heat setting.

My friends grandfather passed and he grabbed these but has no idea what that are.
Mid-century nutcracker, possibly 1940s or 1950s. A sharp tool used to extract the edible part of a nut.

They are used to clean the shells of nuts, especially chestnuts! My grandparents had a wooden bowl that looked like a hollowed-out tree trunk with holes to hold them and a slot for a nutcracker as well!

They come with the corresponding cracking tools for seafood. Lobster, crab, etc. You crack the shells and use the picks to extract the meat from the small areas.

After cracking a nut, use them to extract the flesh. I remember this from my childhood.
