Really Old Anri

Here’s another great piece from the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.
It came in with the jaw pushed in and an old repair on the handle that needed blended in.
Here’s a picture of the piece when it came in:
Here’s a close up of the jaw and handle before the repairs:
Here are pictures of the piece after the jaw was fitted with a new pin and the handle repair blended in better:
This is one of those pieces that you have to know where to stop with the restoration.
The wear and tear I’m leaving alone is this piece’s signature of authenticity. It’s from many years of being used and shouldn’t be fixed. It’s undeniable proof of its age.
The piece came out great, and I am looking forward to getting this piece back to the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum soon so it can go on display for many to enjoy.
