Exquisite Late 19th Century Wooden Nutcracker Cat with Glass Eyes Decorated Orange Tabby Cat

A Very Special Collection of carved wood nutcrackers, Folk Art, Walking Sticks and other pieces will be up for sale.
A local collector has decided to downsize their amazing collection. I will note which pieces are coming from their collection and more items will be coming in soon. If you have interest in one more item or are interested in hearing about what is coming in, please contact me.
A very fine and fantastic wooden nutcracker, circa late 1800's of an orange tabby cat. The stripes are stained over the fine line carved fur and the glass eyes are an exact reproduction of a cat's eye. This is very nice and one of the top nutcrackers I have seen of this style.

Note:
The handle is marked but I can not make out the name.

Condition: Very good with some minor marks and small chip on the ears. The patina is in very good original condition.
Size: 8" high x 2.25" wide
