This is a vintage brass nutcracker made in Israel, featuring designs inspired by the city of Jerusalem or Jewish symbols. The item consists of a wide, ornately decorated base and a long handle designed to apply pressure when cracking nuts. Often categorized as Judaica or tourist souvenirs, these nutcrackers are available in various models, including those depicting the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This specific nutcracker was produced as part of the local brass souvenir and Judaica industry, which flourished primarily between the 1950s and the 1970s. During this post-statehood era, local companies and workshops—such as Oppenheim, Daigi, Ravitzky, and Tamar—began mass-producing decorative yet functional brass and copper objects.
