ANIMAL STOPPERS

People are great, but ANRI made some great Animal stoppers, too.  Once you learn to recognize the
ANRI menagerie of dogs, bears, squirrels, birds, and others, you'll begin to spot them on all sorts of things.  Among the breeds of dogs ANRI made were the Scottish Terrier, St. Bernard, Papillon, Wire Haired Fox terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Skye terrier, Dachshund, and more.  In fact, in one old trade catalog they
state that they have dozens of breeds available.

Here's a kicking donkey that could just as easily have been included in the twist-peg category.  When the peg is twisted, his back legs kick out while his head drops.  On the bottom of his back hooves is a small sticker that says "Cheers."  Common drinking 'toasts' will be found in several languages.  You might see "Prosit," "Your Health," or "Cin Cin."

This dog, and several other breeds, can be found that also have "Cheers" or "Prosit" on their front paws.  The rooster kicks up one leg when his tail is pushed down and says "Cheers," too.

Is it a political thing?  Quite Possibly.  This pair was introduced in 1948.  Lifting their tails cause them to raise their heads, and makes their ears wiggle.

Fox eared squirrels are another ANRI favorite, and of course, we've seen this drinking bear and the monkeys, before.  Watch for these squirrels, bears and dogs as figurines of all sizes, too.

So far, we've looked at normal looking people and animals.  But other stoppers that ANRI made make you wonder.  Lets go from here to "The Weirdoes."  It's sort of the ANRI Twilight Zone.
