For Oktoberfest or Christmas or any time of the year, it's good to have music, and an accordionist is essential for that proper German Oom Pah Pah. Our accordionist is handmade of natural finish and painted woods with a felt color and suspenders and a cord around his hat. His beard and dark hair are lush faux fur. 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). He stands nearly 10" x 4" wide x 3 1/2" deep. Handmade in Germany.
