    Rare Over 140 years Old Siverplated Nut Pick Squirrel Motif DATED 1876
    This nut pick is over 140 years old! From research the internet states that
    Edwin L. Brittin who founded the Derby Silver Co. took out a patent for this pick on Dec. 14 1875 and another patent with a slightly varied design with flowers on Jun. 15 1876  (see pic 2 & 3).  This pick is the one with added flowers and stamped Jun 15 76 (meaning 1876). This pick is over 140 years old and was obviously used.  It has a few nicks and a slight mishape/curve f
    rom use, which gives a glimpse into this pick's history and imagining whose nuts were so difficult to open!  The pick has a nice polished lustrous shine.  My price reflects the 140 years of use/age yet the rarity of this piece.  I try to beat any other listing prices to ensure my buyers get good deals and I charge only what it cost me to ship.
