Vintage ANRI Mechanical Bottle Stopper Tipping Hat Bowing Man Wood Carved Italy

This is a classic Vintage ANRI Mechanical Bottle Stopper from Italy, featuring the iconic "Tipping Hat" or "Bowing" motion.

• Mechanical Action: When you pull the wooden bead at the back, the gentleman politely lifts his hat and tilts his head in a bowing gesture. It is a whimsical and charming piece of mid-century barware.

• Character Design: He is dressed in a festive polka-dot vest and a red tie, with a jolly, hand-painted expression that is quintessential of ANRI craftsmanship.

Condition

• Functional Note: The mechanical pull-action works well. As is common with these vintage string-operated pieces, the hat may not return perfectly to the center position on its own after use and may require a quick manual adjustment to sit flush on the head.

• Overall Condition: Good vintage condition with authentic character. There is some expected paint wear and fading (notably on the white sleeves and hat brim) consistent with its age. Please review the photos and video for details.
