Large Nutcracker Soldier Guard with Drum 15”, Classic 2000 Wooden fringe, beads

Description

Here's a wonderful nutcracker made in the year 2000.   Not only does he come with his drum and drumsticks, he has ears!!!!  He's of high command indeed with his fridged shoulder caps, tasseled boots and beaded sash!  The gent has a top feather and an short trimmed beard!    He stands on his stand at 14 1/4 inches high and weighs 1 pound 14.6 ounces.  Please know I add a little over a pound when estimating shipping weight.
He's in perfect shape except for a few very small paint chips on the back rim on his hat.  I'm going to touch these up with a black marker.   There's a sticker on the bottom by it is worn.  I think it says made in China.
Christmas will be her before you know it!  Consider adding him to your collection !

Unfortunately more and more bidders are deciding NOT to pay for an item once they bid on and win it. I have a zero tolerance for this kind of activity on eBay and it will result in a non-paying bidder case being opened with eBay. Due to this rapidly growing problem payment is now due within 3 days of an auction ending.
I hope all of the honest bidders out there can understand and please realize that these changes aren’t caused by you. Thanks to all of you eBay bidders who pay quickly, communicate, and make buying & selling a pleasure on eBay. You are sincerely appreciated.
