Thanks to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, old-world wooden nutcrackers will forever be associated with Christmas, and no one makes them better than the Steinbach Nutcracker Company in Germany. The company that was founded by Herr Christian Steinbach years ago, producing a wide variety of wooden nutcrackers and "smokers," is today run by his daughter, Karla Steinbach. According to their Web site, the largest collection known is owned by Claudia Davis in Hayden Lake, USA, who has over 5,000 various Steinbach items.
