STEINBACH UBLBRICHT~~' Description ~~A WHOLE BUNCH OF NUTCRACKERS!!! STEINBACH UBLBRICHT~~ Search WELCOME EVERYONE!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This is a huge lot of 27 nutcrackers total. Fourteen of them range from 16-18 inches. The other 13 range from 9-12 inches. This set sat at my fathers home. Some were purchased in Germany; some in East Germany and some were purchased here or received as gifts. There are a few signed. The lot did have some dust on them; some more then others depending where they were sitting, but I have tried to clean them all up.  Some of the feathers need to be replaced due to dryness and dust here in Las Vegas. A number of the large ones still have their orginal boxes. I am not a nutcracker expert and I will describe them the best that I can, and tell you what I do know about them I will tell any apparent flaws that I see. So by bidding you are excepting this. Please ask questions ahead of time. Most seem to be in great condition.

Just a few tips on the new eBay rating system for those of you a little unfamiliar with it! 5 stars means you are happy with everything and it was as expected. It does not mean above and beyond as is the case with most rating systems. EBay penalizes sellers now who have a less than 4.3 average rating. Like me, I think most buyers aren't aware that 5 means you're a satisfied buyer rather than everything exceeded expectations, so I wanted to give my buyers a heads up.
