Heavy brass novelty nutcrackers in the form of ladies legs. Probably Indian made for the English market. These were popular around the Edwardian era, and still (mostly) get a laugh today. They measure 12 am long. There is a cosmetic small split in one of the feet, along the line where there is a join in the mould. Not serious, just noting it for accuracy's sake. Would polish up well.
