I've added yet another variation of the Anri drunk lamppost man to the collection. This version is a rare sailor variant that I won at auction for a really great price; I guess that nobody else saw it. Unfortunately I can't make out what port is written on his hat. Coincidentally, I sold the piece (below, center with the ashtray) today. It was a very unique piece, but I decided to let it go since it didn't have a corkscrew.

It's hard to ask for better corkscrews to be your first finds of the year. These two will certainly be best six contenders for the year. Both are made of carved whale tooth Scrimshaw. One is carved with shoulder length uniform bust of George Washington with ribbon banner below with carved inscription Cincinnatus Lucius Quinctus (name of the Roman patrician, statesman and military leader, for whom the American Revolutionary war officers Order of Cincinnatus was named) the other end is carved in the form of an eagle head. The second corkscrew is intricately carved into a cornucopia.      |
