Thanks for ur showing some of the “off-beat” German Nutcrackers, made other than the big name brands as Steinbach, & Ulbricht. I am a 25 year collector and have almost every brand, however lacking “Fuchtner” (Wilhelm Freidrich Fuchtner) the “Father-of-the-Nutcracker”, turned out the first nutcracker (figural piece) (1865).
UR info reads the maker of ur shown nutcrackers are from the Ergzebirge area is “incorrect”. Volkmar Matthes & Hodrewa-Rothenthal are from: WESTERN GERMANY. Just hoping to clarify ur info, (well meaning, of course). Take care. Thanks for your photos. (I have the “Scholar” by Rothenthal. Have U ever come across a Fuchtner? Tim Hancock, collector (400 strong).
