Anri or something else?

9/8/2023

I purchased this unusual Anri "drunk lamppost man" (as they are usually referred as) corkscrew because it had an unusual variation that I've never seen. The variation was a glass ashtray built into the figure (pictured in the center). I pulled the other drunk lamppost men for comparison. These often have slight variations, but this new piece was decidedly different. Note that I believe the third one from the left has been modified/painted. I was also surprised to find a label with a US company on it since these Anri pieces were made in Italy. The bodies and paint colors all seem pretty similar, but the base is clearly different and somewhat crudely carved out for the ash tray. The head is also slightly different from your standard drunk lamppost man since it has a fez. The other variation is that it has no corkscrew, just an irremovable lamp and a bottle opener, so this piece may eventually be leaving the collection, but I had to buy it based on how unique it seemed. If you have any information on this variation then leave me a message.
