Here’s a great example of a figural Pirate nutcracker.<\/p>\n

Picked him up on Ebay. He had some condition issues (chipped lip, chipped handle, and various dings in the face). Looks like he was dropped or the family dog got to it and carried it around in its mouth a little.<\/p>\n

I originally bought this one to fix up and sell, but the wife fell in love with it after it was done so looks like he’s going in our collection. Oh darn! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I really do like how this one came out. The darker stain really makes this a better piece.<\/p>\n
