For some, "antiquing" is a verb, to go shopping for antiques. Today, I took my mom "thrifting", shopping at our local thrift shop run by The Assistance League. They are an East Valley store, and their monies support many local needs such as Assault Survivor kits ie clothing and hygiene items for those in need.
Mom got a few things, and I bought an odd little nutcracker ($10). I wasn't going to buy anything, but this caught my eye so I had to have it.
Turns out when I got home, I was able to look it up. Its a nutcracker from the 40s-50s made by HMQ, Henry Marcus Quackenbush. It appears to be nickel plated and will hang on my dining room wall with my other antique kitchen utensils!
Hooray for thrifting!
