This 5.5" Bear Nutcracker is a rustic vintage piece made of durable cast iron, perfect for adding character and charm to any decor. With its mechanical tail lever action, this unique nutcracker offers both functionality and a touch of whimsy. Made in the United States, this collectible item is sure to be a conversation starter in any room. Excellent vintage pre-owned condition with natural aged patina. There is some light surface oxidation/rust consistent with age, which adds to its antique character. The mechanical lever works smoothly. Pet and Smoke Free Environment. If you hesitate to purchase because of the item price and shipping cost, I do not charge a handling fee for shipping supplies or fees charged by eBay to ship to you. *Note as with all vintage items, minor manufacturing imperfections or light surface marks from gentle previous use may be present.
