Anri Old Woman

Anri Old Woman

That Groden was a fun piece, now back to the Anris Arlene Wagner sent from The Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.

 

Here’s an old woman Anri that had a lot of damage to the lower jaw. This is a common break because people think the nuts get cracked in the piece’s mouth like a traditional soldier style nutcracker.

 

Most if not all figural nutcrackers are made assuming the nut will be cracked in the back between the lever and body. So when people try to crack nuts in the mouth, they get broken.

 

Here is the piece before the lower jaw was rebuilt:

 

 

Here are some photos after the piece was fixed:

 

 

 

 

 

This is #4 of the nine pieces received from The Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.

 

More to come soon.
