This is a set of four vintage ANRI wood carvings atop bar tools. Although the conditions range from very good to near mint, each of these bar tools has a flaw. The corkscrew lady has the front part of her nose missing as does (you need to look closely) the bottle opener lady. The corkscrew gentleman has the front part of his hat rim missing (you don't need to look closely to see this). Finally, the gnome has the right part of his nose chipped off. On the positive side, the ladies have finely detailed mouths while the gnome is fairly rare as a bottle opener and is very finely detailed. They range in height, including their tools, from 4 1/2 inches to 5 1/2 inches. Pictures of other corkscrew and bottle opener carvings can be found on pages 169 through 172 in the definitive "anri Woodcarvings" by Philly Rains & Donald Bull.
