Lot 20 , A pair of carved beech nutcrackers,

A pair of carved beech nutcrackers, modelled as a gent with peaked cap and large moustache, possibly Count Von Bismarck, together with a similar pair of nutcrackers modelled as an elderly lady
Estimate £40-60

First pair possibly modelled as Count Von Bismarck, there is a chip to the rim of his hat probably half a little finger nail in size, a few what look like old worm holes around his hat and to the right side of his face, a minor stress crack running from front along his cap and down the peak but only very slight, other general marks and wear in places.
Second pair modelled as an elderly lady appear to be in reasonable condition.
