It was in a junk box of Leica gear I got an an estate sale. Was packed in a generic cardboard box with foam rubber around it. I can't find it in any of my Leica references.

What have I got here?

Actually it is the unbelievably rare (only two known to exist) Leica Party nutcracker! You put the nuts in the square part and push down on the lever! Then lift the lever and serve the nuts! This is a Leitz treasure and if put on Ebay - well, prepare for your ship to come in!

This is an ugly rumor started by Japanese collectors of the much less valuable Leica bon-bon maker, mass-produced in large numbers in Canada. The only Leica nutcracker, a prototype never produced, is in the leicakunstwerkmuseum in Wetzlar...

:D
