I ordered the book from Amazon, which included both the stories "The Christmas Carol" and "Cricket on the Hearth." The story "The Cricket on the Hearth" is actually a love story, and I enjoyed reading it! My shot of culture for the year, maybe.
This is my "Cricket on the Hearth". He was given to my Mom from an aunt years ago. Don't ask me why he looks like an alligator.
And this is a picture of a brass cricket I found online. Looks much more like a cricket than mine.

I can't really tell for sure, but I think the one you have is a boot jack. I used to have one too.
Thank you for that Cricket culture! JAM
