ANRI
BAR SETS
continued....
Just when you think you could recognize an ANRI bar
set or bar implement anywhere, along comes something you've never seen
before. Here are some examples of pieces I believe are less common,
but that judgment is based on my own experience. Yours may differ.
This little bar set consists of a set of coasters
resting between the out-stretched arms of a character with a cap lifter
head. Heads, costume, and everything else varies. Also, there's
a variety of things they hold in their hands. Mugs, jugs, bottles,
and even turnips!
The top four are from the Don Bull collection,
and the bottom two are mine. I now have coasters, too, thanks to
my friend, Don.
These little 'uglies but goodies' are cap lifters.
Once you study them you get the impression that Dentists were a rarity
in the Tyrol.
These figures have cork screw heads, bottle stoppers
in their mugs, and the 3rd one from the left has a cap lifter, disguised
as a bar towel, under his right arm.
All are from the Bull collection. In fact,
if you've followed the other links on my pages, you've seen quite a few
pieces from Don's collection, but below is one picture I think deserves
a much larger image.
Only when seen in detail can the true variety
of ANRI bar pieces be appreciated. Since Don collects corkscrews
almost exclusively, he has been a great source, (and resource) for my own
collection.
