The Nutcracker Knight Christmas Ornament (Bronze)
Details
Wendell August Forge began in 1923 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, when Wendell McMinn August and blacksmith Ottone Pisoni started making matching ironwork for August’s home. That practical commission grew into a decorative metalworking business. The company’s values center on skilled craft, preserving traditional techniques and creating gifts that mark family milestones. Its artisans continue the metalworking tradition in Pennsylvania, with production now in Slippery Rock.

Materials and finish
Bronze. The pictured crystal accents are decorative; crystal sourcing and attachment details have not been verified. No unsupported alloy purity, recycled-content percentage, coating certification or food-contact certification is claimed. Photographed variations in lighting can change the apparent color of a metal finish; choose by the selected listing rather than assuming every item shown is supplied.
Care
Care and storage
For the bronze, copper or sterling-silver metal component, the maker directs dry dusting with a soft, untreated cloth. Do not wash, soak or place it in a dishwasher; water and heat can damage its lacquer finish. Do not use the lacquered metal for direct food service or as an ashtray. Keep it protected from scratching and moisture during storage.
Shipping & returns
Origin, shipping and returns
Product-specific country of manufacture is not fully verified. The company’s Pennsylvania workshop and general American-craftsmanship statements do not establish the origin of this complete item. Metalwork, crystals, glass, wood, hardware and any other included components need separate evidence where applicable.
Shipping for The Nutcracker Knight Ornament (Bronze): the maker’s current policy lists USPS, FedEx and UPS dispatch from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. In-stock, non-engraved orders normally ship the same business day before 11:30 a.m. Eastern or the next business day afterward; November–December processing may take 5–7 business days. Engraved and made-to-order items are listed at 5–7 business days before dispatch, with holiday variation. Standard transit is estimated at 3–4 days and express at 1–2 days after dispatch. These are supplier estimates, not guaranteed BuyAmerican delivery dates; available services, charges and applicability to this order require confirmation.
Returns for The Nutcracker Knight Ornament (Bronze): the maker’s FAQ gives conflicting stock-item return windows of 90 and 100 days, while its dedicated returns page supplies no complete terms. Both FAQ statements require new, unused condition and proof of purchase; custom or engraved items are excluded, and standard return shipping and original shipping charges are not reimbursed. The applicable supplier return window and handling for BuyAmerican orders remain unresolved. Contact hello@buyamerican.com before sending a return and review BuyAmerican’s refund policy for its own conditions and exceptions.
