Hang Tags

Hang tags are another thing that some people like to keep on their nutcrackers. I do not expect each nutcracker to have a hang tag, as many of them do not come with them. Even the Steinbach do not always have a hang tag. These also may change from importer to importer, as some want their own name on the nutcracker. So, I really prefer to show mine without the hang tags. Some of them are cumbersome and detract from the display. Some makers put stickers on the bottom of the nutcracker, some stamp the bottom of the nutcracker with their logo, and some burn their logo into the bottom of the base. Some use hang tags only, in which case you will want to keep the hang tag. Limited editions not only have the logo burned into the base, but include a sticker with the number of the edition and the number of the nutcracker. Sometimes this information is hand written, but if this information is missing, the value of the nutcracker is less. Several times we have found stickers on the shelf, or in the box, or sometimes missing altogether, so the value of the piece must be less.
