Gotta love how the ad includes "this has been seen by Gordon B. Hinckley".
So, someone shelled out for this stupid Joseph Smith nutcracker, and showed it to Gordon B. Hinckley, and he politely smiled and shook hands with the owner and then turned to the next person to smile and shake hands with them, etc. And now this nutcracker "has been seen" by the Prophet. What a ringing endorsement by The Man. ROFL. ;-)

Unfortunately they seem to be clear out of Joseph Smith and Mishies at the moment. But Brigham Young is still available at $199.95 - and he cracked the nuts of a lot of men in his time ...

Rediculous.
The primary purpose of a nutcracker is to crack nuts.
What a stupid collectable
"I collect dolls that crack nuts"
Even Tchaicovski must be decomposing over this.

He got the Joseph Smith nutcracker wrong. The golden plates should've been invisible.

No rock. No hat. That's how you spot a fake.
