FROM THE CLAUDIA DAVIS COLLECTION…. 

The Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum shows a special display of nutcrackers from the collection of Claudia Davis of Idaho.  Claudia inherited this collection from her father, the late Hal Davis who began collecting in 1953.  She has since added many interesting pieces, making it one of the world’s largest collections.  

Claudia serves on the board of directors of the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum, where someday her collection will be placed.  Here are some of her nutcrackers currently on display in the museum.
