Antique Wood-Handle Direct-Pull Corkscrew, Unmarked

$28.00

This simple wood-handled "direct pull" corkscrew represents one of the oldest and most common corkscrew styles, produced by countless small workshops throughout the 19th century without any maker's mark. No mechanism is needed; the user simply turns the handle to sink the worm into the cork, then pulls straight up to draw it out.

A handsome piece that still works exactly as intended.
