Created in 2002, this special commemorative nutcracker honors the heroes of the N.Y. 9/11 tragedy. The "Firefighter" stands 19’’ in height, and he is ready for duty. He wears his black fire retardant equipment: fire helmet and uniform. He carries his fire ax and coiled hose (which is a unique music box). He stands in front of a fire hydrant hookup anticipating the skills needed for fighting fires, and he is # 4384 of a limited edition of only 5000.

The coil of hose is an actual music box. Wind it up to hear the tribute, "God Bless America". In addition, Herr Steinbach, who is the creator of this wonderful action figure, personally signed this commemorative piece. A brass plate attached to the base affirms this hero as "America’s Bravest".

The "Firefighter" stands 19’’ in height.

This Steinbach nutcracker," Firefighter", is in mint condition with its original box, and comes from a smoke-free home - so ironic. A sad note; Herr Steinbach passed away in 2007, well into his eighties, after a long and illustrious career as the creator of the world’s finest nutcrackers.

Christian Steinbach, the world’s premiere creator of German nutcrackers, produced this fun, colorful nutcracker. It is #1592 of a retired limited edition of 7500 pieces and the stamp of authenticity is on the bottom.

Our "COURT JESTER" stands a full 18" tall and is ready to entertain. He wears a 4-sided velvet hat with four jingle bells attached, a red & navy colored velvet outfit with bells down his chest, one red boot and one navy boot.

Sadly, Herr Steinbach passed away in 2007, well into his eighties, after a long productive career creating his finely detailed nutcrackers.

GENERAL GRANT      S-1671

Created by Kristian Steinbach (the world’s premier nutcracker designer) Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant is presented in his Civil War attire. Issued in 2003, he stands a full 18" tall.

General Grant looks very distinguished in his union blue uniform. His dark blue wide brimmed hat is pinned up on one side and held with a white feather plume. His long navy blue coat is decorated with gold epaulets at the shoulders, 2 rows of gold buttons down the front and a gold belted waist.

The general looks to be preparing for battle – his sword is by his side and he holds binoculars to scout out the enemy. He stands on a round blue-grey wooden pedestal with a brass plaque denoting "Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant".

General Grant comes to you in mint condition (never displayed) with the original hang-tag and the original box. He has been stored in a smoke free home.
