Description: In 1998 the Steinbach Member’s Only Nutcracker Series introduced Gustav, the Royal Cook (S1824). He stands at 17 and ½ inches tall and serves a feast for his noble king. The Cook is signed by Herr Christian Steinbach, has the original box and a tag. Excellent condition. Has a minor amount of paint loss on the cook’s food plate, which is barely noticeable, and mainly on the bottom of the plate. Steinbach Volkskunst from Marienberg in Germany is the iconic manufacturer of the finest wooden works of art such as nutcrackers and traditional German incense smokers. On a personal note…. I became a member of the Steinbach Collectors Club in the 1990s. I received members only gifts and purchased members only nutcrackers for several years. Christian Steinbach was the 5th generation of Steinbach’s to lead the Steinbach organization, along with his daughter Karla Steinbach. I was privileged to attend one of Herr Steinbach’s special signing events in July 1997, where I captured several memorable photos of myself with Herr Steinbach. I’ve included a photo I took of Herr Steinbach at the end of the photos of Gustav, the Royal Cook. Sadly, I can no longer display much of my Steinbach collection since we have moved into a smaller home with less space. I am the process of selling several of my Steinbach nutcrackers and hope to find good homes for all of them! I am offering prices way below other comparable offerings.
