Buon giovedì! Non riesco a capire, sembra quasi che woodpecker sia una marca, da quello che ho trovato in rete, ma se così fosse dovrei averlo maiuscolo, no? È forse diventato un termine generico? È un oggetto che una donna regala a un'altra come piccolo gesto di gratitudine. Unico "indizio": lo prende a Los Alamos, per cui magari è legato alla cultura o alle tradizioni del luogo... Grazie a tutti. Cristina

Comment: "È stata confermata la marca, come da mia impressione iniziale e come i tuoi stessi link hanno sottolineato. Pertanto sarà un "macinapepe Woodpecker" (c'è evidentemente un typo per l'assenza di maiuscola nel mio testo). Grazie a tutti e scusate l'attesa. Cristina"

Oppure un "picchio macina-pepe" per farla più breve.
