As for the nut chopper, I think they also used a can like that to chop cabbage when they made kraut.

My mom had one too. I also have the metal measuring spoons and the grater. I think we love the same things. HA! I do have vintage kitchen stuff and I too use it very often. In fact I once decorated my kitchen wall with this stuff but when I moved I couldn't find just the right place to do it again. I did sell some of it when I sold antiques.
