Vintage ANRI Wood Carved Mechanical Bottle Stopper Pop Up Drinking Man

This is a charming vintage ANRI mechanical bottle stopper, hand-carved and hand-painted in the Italian Tyrol region. It features a gentleman in a beer-drinking pose. When the wooden lever on his back is pressed, his arm lifts the beer stein to his mouth, simulating a drink. Whimsical ANRI barware from this era is highly sought after by collectors. Due to the cork's condition, this item is best suited for display rather than functional use.
