A nutcracker that actually cracks nuts — and looks good doing it.
This cast iron figural soldier nutcracker was a gift-with-purchase from Diamond of California, the beloved nut company, during the 2004 holiday season — part of their "Old Fashioned Nutcracker" series, originally boxed with a small bag of nuts. Heavy, sturdy, and fully functional, it's a world away from the decorative wooden nutcrackers that only pose on shelves. All original paint, no rust, and a satisfying heft that only cast iron delivers. A conversation piece for the bar, the kitchen counter, or a holiday display that actually earns its place.
A wonderful gift for the nutcracker collector, the Diamond of California enthusiast, or anyone who believes holiday decor should be functional as well as festive.
