This is a vintage ANRI wood carving of the upper body of a gentleman smoking a pipe. He also serves as a bottle stopper. It is a fine and fairly detailed carving.in near mint condition with some barely detectable fading near his shoulders. He measures just under 4.5 inches from the bottom of the cork to the top of his hat. I believe that ANRI pipe smoking bottle stoppers are fairly rare. Attached is a green and gold foil pine tree label used by the ANRI carvers from 1954 through 1967. Pictures of two other pipe smokers most similar to this one can be found in the catalog pictures as shown on page 202 of the definitive \"anri Woodcarvings\" by Philly Rains & Donald Bull.
