List price of $359.00, WHAT A STEEL!!! BID TODAY!!! If you haven't yet got a nutcracker at home perhaps you will be gripped by the passion of collecting such figurines. You won't be alone in that. In many places in good old Europe, America and also Japan t are both famous individual collectors and Steinbach-Collector-Clubs. The largest collection known to us at present is owned by Claudia Davis in Hayden Lake, USA who has over 5,000 which she recently inherited from her father Hal Davis. I have been able to personally sign many a figure for Hal Davis in the last few decades. What joy, what historical mystique and what enormous value is contained in such a collection! Our colorful wooden companions have forefathers. It has been established that Aristoteles possessed a nutcracker with a lever-age around 330 B.C. Old figures from history become collector's items in their special and individual styles. On the other hand it's funnier to imagine Napoleon, Bismarck or Hindenburg as a nutcracker. Even nowadays a nutcracker figure is not simply a tool. No, our nutcrackers are symbolic figures. They will help you to crack the spice of life. Strong, powerful, genuine and loyal like their forefathers over the centuries, they do their duty. Always ready to ward off evil from their owners. They are kind companions, venerable and respectable figures, but never objects of ridicule, as an Eastern ideology claimed for a time. Kept in a smoke free/child free home.Would make a WONDERFUL addition to any collection.We are selling for a private estate owner.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONPlease email with any questions or comments prior to bidding.
