Anybody know anything about this nutcracker?

[Keith]

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

I have one just like it.  Bought 23  years ago in the US.  Not worth much.  Decor piece.

You don't know the half of it cogar.  That is just that site.

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.
