Rare Bridge City Tool Works NC-1 ROSEWOOD Nutcracker from 1987Very rare Rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) Bridge City Toolworks NC-1 Nutcracker from Sneak Preview #3 back in 1987, and offered briefly in BCTW's 1988 catalog. I'm told only a handful of these were ever made, and one was purchased for the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery for their permanent collection. I purchased this one along with a very few others from a former BCTW employee back in 2002 when the original company moved out of the location they were then operating from. I will include copies of the above pages to the winner, one showing the nutcracker in Sneak Preview #5 and on the 1988 catalog cover, and a few other images that establish its pedigree. This makes a great gift for anyone, no matter how "challenging to buy for" and is a very hard to find item, especially in this condition. I'm listing it as "used" because it has been around for almost 30 years - but it shows no evidence of any use, just very slight patina from occasional handling and some faint tool marks from when it was made.
