Arlene Wagner from the Nutcracker Museum<\/span><\/span><\/a> brought a few pieces to the 2013 Nutcracker Collector Club Convention<\/span><\/span><\/a> to be repaired.<\/p>\n

This nice little Squirrel Nutcracker features an adjustable lever and finely detailed markings all over. It was missing its head and the pin was varnished solid in place removing the ability to adjust it. I restored the piece’s functionality, gave this little guy a new head, and took the liberty to add a nut to the design. It’s the least I could do for this little guy after all he’s been through.<\/p>\n
