Nutcrackers and Smokers
We carry Steinbach and  Erzebirge  German nutcrackers, smokers, and pyramids.
2006 will bring a bigger selection of nutcrackers than we’ve been able to find for the past few years. There will be kings and guards and Santas and chimney sweeps, but a better selection of special interests this year.  We also found a collection of nutcrackers with metal plates that will actually crack nuts, if you’re so inclined. Our smokers depict many professions and interests.  We have incense cones in pine and cinnamon.
 
Pyramids are the masterpieces of the Erzebirge  craftsmen. The German Erzebirge (Ore Mountains) was once rich in silver and tin, and mining was the primary occupation. As the mines were depleted, villagers turned to woodworking.  The miner and guardian angel figures, often used on pyramids, tell of the activities of the famous silver mining region.  Other popular styles include nativity scenes, angels, forest workers, St. Nicholas, and folk scenes.  We sell pyramid candles in several sizes.
