Harry Laylon designed the "Big'n Small Nut Cracker" (Chase Item No. 90150). 
This nutcracker has two long, hinged handles that can be adjusted to crack either small or large nuts. The hinged part (jaw), which swings forward, enlarges the opening to accommodate very large nuts. The handles are a ribbed design.
Gift of Amelia Daly, 1984.
