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. * Authentic Icelandic Santa nutcracker * Hand-crafted in Germany of wood and fabric * Dimensions: 6W x 5.5D x 19H in. * Painted Icelandic Santa design * Embellishments: toy sack, cane, fabric outfit * Original Karolin Steinbach design signed by the artist
