This tool was found in a box of wood planes from a farm. It is "reversible" in that the arms can rotate 180 degrees. The pivot has a narrow profile (1/8") on one side and a wider (3/8") on the other. The inside of both arms are textured with small points as if to hold something firmly. About 6" long total height. The numbers 50 on one side and 60 on the other can be read. Any ideas?
Looks like a nut cracker

Need better pics, especially at the pivot, can't really see any detail at all.

I see you found the "Luca Brasi" special ; brings back memories from about 1942. I bet when used the right way everything it touched fell into place.

I had a nutcracker like that. It was more ornate and made sometime in the 19th century. One way is for the little nuts and then it flips over for the big nuts.
