This nutcracker longs for flight! He is our little aviator, complete with binocular and goggles (let's hope the propellor is simply a spare). Handmade by artisans of the Christian Ulbricht Company; they've been making nutcrackers by hand in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated, since 1928.

This is a working nutcracker (the lever in back operates his jaws), made by hand of solid natural finish and glazed woods. His beard and dark hair are lush faux fur and his cap is fleece. Just about 10" tall x 4" wide x 4" deep. Perfect not just for Christmas, our aviator is perfect all year long for anyone who appreciates quirky flights of fancy or taking to the skies. Handmade in Germany.
