18.5in tall This handcrafted wooden nutcracker represents the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, produced by the German manufacturer Steinbach GmbH. The figure is constructed from turned and carved wood with hand-painted facial details, including inset stationary orange-red bead eyes and white synthetic fiber hair and eyebrows. The figure is dressed in an original mixed-media ensemble featuring a glossy grey top hat with a blue ribbon, a blue fabric coat with black lace trim, a black velvet vest with two gold-tone floral buttons, and a patterned yellow and green cravat. Accessories include a hand-carved spiral wooden walking stick and a small orange-toned wooden case decorated with a black letter S. The circular wooden base features a brass-colored identification plate inscribed A Christmas Carol Ebenezer Scrooge. The item retains its original Steinbach hang tag, noting importation by Kurt S. Adler, Inc., and is accompanied by its original cardboard box which bears the Steinbach GMBH maker's mark and factory locations in Hohenhameln and Marienberg.
