These funny vintage stoppers are great as a conversation piece for your bar. These were hand-carved and sold by an Italian company named Anri, who apparently began carving stoppers like these back in 1912 - they are still in business today but stopped making these in 1976. The mouths of each move via a lever on their back - apparently they're called "yakers." I don't know how old these are but a guess would be mid-1950s. You can find old Anri bottle stoppers on Etsy and Ebay but I haven't seen any being sold as a set of three, nor have I seen any in as good a condition as these are nor for the price I am offering. These have never been used - the bottom of the corks have a sticker or marking on them as proof. Each figure is approximately 12 cm high.
