Description from the seller

1 very beautiful nutcracker and a lovely champagne cork puller in the shape of a crocodile/alligator vintage

The first nutcracker is brass
The champagne cork puller is bronze

They are quite old, both of them.

They are vintage in good condition for their age.

You just lift their tail. Their mouth opens so you can place your nut and hazelnut for the former and the champagne bottle cork for the latter. Each features detailed sculptural characteristics and very textured body lines.

The vintage crocodile-shaped brass nutcracker measures 18 cm long, 4 cm wide and 3.5 cm high.

The crocodile-shaped bronze cork puller measures 17 cm long, 4 cm wide and 4.5 cm high

They are very pretty collectible pieces that combine functionality and decorative appeal. Both work very well

The photos are part of the description.

They will be very carefully packed and sent by registered mail with tracking and insurance

Auctioneers note: No shipment to the United States, the Middle East, and East Asia
