ANRI

from the collection of Philly Rains

ANRI Figurines may be anywhere from an inch or two in height, to 21," or more. Most stand on octagon shaped wooden blocks. There are musicians, tradesmen, sportsmen of all kinds.
A man playing a bass fiddle, a hiker, 
a fisherman and a lady with a broom.
There's even a set of Dickens Characters from David Copperfield and other works. The tall fellow polishing a 
boot is Sam Weller...
ANRI figurines include hunters, and village caricatures in a variety of sizes.  There are also Physicians carved from wood, and another series made of composite material called Toriart.
  Hand carved smoking accessories featured people and animals like this group of ashtrays & cigarette/match holders. Some of the figures were mechanical, and dogs were often featured.
      A dog humidor, my favorite cigarette box. Remove this pup's head and stash your smokes.
Pipe Holders

This is only a small sample from my collection,
and my collection features only a fraction 
of all the wonderful items ANRI produced.

To see thousands of items like these, 
be sure and order the book, ANRI Woodcarvings.
