Like a fine wine, the value of this Kurt Adler Wine Farmer Nutcracker will increase with time and it will bring joy to your holiday celebrations. Sure to be a beloved family heirloom, this nutcracker is artfully carved of solid wood, artistically painted, and intricately embellished. He wears a jaunty cap festooned with faux grapes and has a friendly expression that brings him to life. He wears a fabric apron and tall, buckled boots so you know he's ready to work. In one hand he carries purple faux grapes. In the other a fine bottle of his own vintage. More grapes are at his feet. Cheers!
About Kurt S. Adler Inc.
The story of Kurt S. Adler Inc. begins after the close of World War II when Mr. Adler tried his hand at exporting general goods. Business grew, and European economies flourished so he turned his focus to importing. Ornaments were offered by the 1950s, and beautiful, handmade angels from East and West Germany found an enthusiastic audience in America. Adler expanded the line to glass ornaments from Czechoslovakia, hanging ceiling decorations from Germany, and miniature lights from Italy.
The next decade, Adler started importing holiday decor from the Far East. Colorful snow globes and other animated items became a collector's favorite. In the 1980s and 90s, Fabriche Santas, nutcrackers, and other collectibles were ushered in. Recent additions include animatronics, fiber optic trees, interactive advent calendars, and synchronized musical decorations.
