Black Top Hat Drummer Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 12 in by Wizardi F07M14-38-N01724C

Keep time with the Black Top Hat Drummer, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a parade drummer in a black top hat with a gold scroll emblem and brim, white hair and a fluffy white beard, and a red coat with gold shoulders over a black-striped vest. He holds gold drumsticks over a red drum with a black triangle pattern, with dark green trousers and black boots laced in gold on a red square base.

A little collector's folklore: drummers once carried orders across the battlefield with their beat, and collectors say a drummer nutcracker makes sure everyone gets the message when it is time for Christmas dinner.

Why this nutcracker: if you love the classic drummer in rich red, black and green, he is a refined, traditional choice. At about 12 inches he fits a bookshelf, piano or mantel, and pairs perfectly with his regiment.

In the box: one Black Top Hat 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.

Complete the regiment with the swordsman, king and British guard in the same series (F07M14-38-N01724A, B and D). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 30 cm tall (11.8 in). Classic Christmas shelf and mantel decor, and a festive gift for drummers and nutcracker collectors.
