RARE 1950s ANRI Woodcarving, Singing Trio Musical Barware Set

Vintage 1950s ANRI Woodcarving, Singing Trio Musical Barware Set.
Wonderful Anri Barware Set made in Italy, these are hand carved and stained, and no two pieces were ever made alike.
The ANRI logo on the base of this piece indicates it was made between 1954-1967.
This is a rarer piece made by Anri during the 1950s, there is a suitcase behind the singing trio which is a music box. The workers at Anri were very ingenious when it came to their mechanical carvings, the music box on this piece operates simply by turning the key on the back of the suitcase clockwise, but there’s a secrete to getting the music to play, the man in the center must be in place, if he is removed the music will stop playing.
This music box takes one complete turn to get started (over winding will damage the music box).

From left to right the man in the blue coat is a bottle opener, center the man is a corkscrew, the man in the green jacket is a bottle stopper. These were originally sold as barware items to use, but now they are over 70 years old and should probably be a collectible. Overall condition is very good.
