Interesting facts: In the 11th century in northern Europe, wood-carving thrived, supported by church patronage, wealthy merchants & private patrons. The Steinbach family started their business by purchasing a timber yard & operating a wood sawmill run by steam & eventually began making nutcrackers & other fine wood products. Did you know? Steinbach’s nutcrackers feature a stern face- it is believed that nutcrackers are good luck & ward away evil - and how best to ward off evil but with a stern face!
