welcome to the forum kardshark,

If you don't think that its a nutcracker, what do you think it is?

[try googling the images of medieaval nutcrackers and see what you think!]

Definitely nut-crackers. Found a complete pair, identical to yours last January. Should of made a note of where I searched for an ID, wish I had now, but they are brass / copper alloy, and according to my notes "very likely 17th century".
One of my favourite finds, love em.  Grin
Here they are anyway. Click photos to enlarge. Thanks.  Grin Grin
