Authentic Vintage Antique Cast Iron

This is an authentic, vintage 1890's - 1910's cast iron nutcracker by the L A Althoff Co in Chicago, IL. There are a lot of reproductions out there - the easiest way to tell the diference is that the originals show the quality that was evident 100 years ago. The cast pieces fit together well, the details are sharp and not blurry, the piece is not held together by modern nuts, and the manufacturer proudly cast in his identification. You won't be disappointed in this one.
