Vintage Wooden DUCK NUTCRACKER Head Lever, Shells Box! - eBay (item 310106396091 end time Dec-09-08 19:45:52 PST)Here's a nutcracker with an unusual design, perfect for a hunter or nature lover. The duck's head and neck are a lever. Lift it, place a nut on the platform and press the lever down to crack nuts. The shells fall into the box. I see no maker's mark.
It's in good used condition, solidly constructed with little marks where broken nuts scratched the wood. There are also a few minor dents here and there and one of the duck's eyes has chipped paint. Good for lots more nutcracking fun.
Handcrafted Wooden BAGEL HOLDER w/ Handle, Knife Slot! - eBay (item 310074385055 end time Aug-15-08 21:13:40 PDT)This wooden bagel holder is a kitchen safety device that looks great. Plop your bagel into the hollow and slice it in two top to bottom without it squirming and putting your fingers at risk. Gotta love that.
It's hand-made and marked on the bottom, "Handcrafted in US by" followed by a symbol that could be a two-headed snake or the letters "ORY." Or not.
It's well-made with a slot to guide your knife, a handle to hold it still and a decorative copper circle punched to say, "Bagels." The handle has a leather loop so you can hang it up out of the way between uses.
So, all you need is this holder, a bagel and a knife and you're ready to take care of that tummy rumble whenever it strikes. Well, that and butter, cream cheese, or whatever your taster wants.
Carved and Inlaid WOODEN INCENSE BURNER Polished Box! - eBay (item 310049409162 end time May-14-08 18:53:07 PDT)This wooden incense burner is quite beautiful with carved filigree designs and inset golden (maybe brass) metal sun, moon and stars in each side.
A hole in the upright tab holds a long incense stick for burning and the trough in the lid catches the ashes. The lid lifts to reveal a storage area for many incense sticks. The box feels smooth to the touch, strong and sturdy, and it closes with a clack.
I see no maker's mark on this polished wood box with incense sticks inside ready to fill your home with exotic scents.
