A fierce protector, the nutcracker bares its teeth tothe evil spirits and serves as the traditional messenger of good luck andgoodwill.
The Steinbach family started in business in 1832 bypurchasing a timber yard and operating a wood sawmill, which ran initially bywaterpower and then by steam power.
