Classic Red Drummer Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 10 in by Wizardi F07M6-13A

Keep the holiday rhythm with the Classic Red Drummer, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a traditional drummer in a black top hat with a gold band and finial, a fluffy white beard under a curled moustache, and a red jacket with gold epaulettes and blue jewel buttons. He holds gold drumsticks over a red-and-gold drum, with red trousers and black boots laced in gold on a round red base.

A little collector's folklore: the drummer boy who has nothing to give but his song is one of the best-loved Christmas stories, and collectors say a drummer nutcracker reminds the house what the season is really about.

Why this nutcracker: if you want the timeless red drummer but in a smaller size, he is exactly that — the classic look scaled down for shelves and windowsills. He is a great first nutcracker for a child and an easy gift for any collector.

In the box: one Classic Red Drummer nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and a drum, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Group him with the other small-size figures in the series (F07M6-13B, C and D), or stand a pair on either side of a window. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 25 cm tall (9.8 in). Classic Christmas shelf decor, and a festive gift for drummers, kids and nutcracker collectors.
