This vintage mechanical bottle stopper depicts a cheery character in a dark green coat with red tie and black hat, raising a wooden bottle to his mouth. The figure has detailed carving, a hand-painted outfit, and a whimsical expression. When the lever is pulled, his right arms alternate between bread & wine—a delightful animation.
