Fanciest nutcracker I've ever seen...

What exactly did you mean

 

[old digger]

It was used to break open nuts like walnuts, pecans, or filberts.

Does it have a value ?

Any hallmarks?

I don't think it is old. Here is the same item for sale on Rubylane.com $58 USD.

French. This brass one has the small embossed letters ‘MOD DEP’ on the inside of the handle for “modèle depose”… ie “registered design”. Said to be from the 1920s/1930s and priced at £28 ($40).
