This little fellow is just awesome. He is made of cast iron and sets on a wooden base. This is painted and shows little signs of wear, a couple of tiny knicks but that is half the look of these old items! The base shows some wear but could easily be touched up, personally I clean items like this and leave the little scratches and such, its part of the charm. This stands almost 6" tall, the base is 7.5" and the nutcracker is 5.5" wide. This is a rare find especially in this good of condition, there are no names or info on the bottom for identification.
