This one of a kind, funky, hand widdled bottle stopper, is absolutely insane! It is a turn of the century, hand carved, wooden “pop-up” bottle topper. It is of course, used, as it is believed to be an original, carved In Germany, around 1910. Here is what one collector wrote about the maker: “Anri made hundreds of different kinds of carved wooden bottle stoppers. The company was founded by Anton Riffeser, who came from a long line of woodcarvers in the Tyrol region of Austria. In 1912 he started a workshop in St. Christina (part of Italy after World War I) and in 1926 started the House of ANRI…The company sold bottle stoppers and small figurines made in its workshop or made by local woodcarvers. Since each piece was handmade, no two pieces were exactly alike” This piece is old, but functions like a charm, no issues, and amazingly durable!
Push the lever and a man pops out of the hat on the man’s head! Super funky, AND so much history! A talking point for any host with the most!
