Title: Anybody know anything about this nutcracker?
Post by: Keith on August 23, 2009, 05:59:25 PM: This nutcracker was given to my son by my Grandmother.I don't think it is old,however I do remember seeing it in her home when I was a kid.He was asking me if I knew anything about it,so I told him I would ask you all and see.He was just curious,and now he's got me curious.

Thanks for any help,God bless,Keith

Once makers saw the "saleability" of the item.....they started making them all over (China, Thailand, the list goes on)!

"Nutcracker Suite" movie made people really desire them.
