Nutcracker Village Scotsman Kilt & Bagpipes Tartan Plaid 12 Inch‎ Vintage 1994

Nutcracker Village Handcrafted wooden Scotsman in a tartan plaid kilt, with a green hat and red pom holding bagpipes. This is one in a series of character Nutcrackers this company released in 1994. This type of nutcracker is a traditional German design, often hand-painted. While historically used to crack nuts, many modern nutcrackers are primarily decorative. They are popular collector's items, with various designs available, often including characters from the Nutcracker Ballet. Although nutcrackers are associated with Christmas, particular styles such as this can be displayed all year round in the homes of those who love bagpipe music, or celebrate their Scottish heritage. Note chipped paint on one shoulder. Ships from the Midwest.
