Did your grandmother use the contraption (we always called it by the very original name “the pecan picker-upper”) that had a small metal basket on the end of a long handle (like a broom) that you would press down on the pecan and ground and it would pop it into the basket?  It saved you from bending over.  My brothers and I loved using that thing!  And both grandmothers had the pecan cracker in your photo.   Good memories!
