Identification…
Who has an idea on the identity of
these two corkscrews ?

I recently
bought a T shaped corkscrew with a small disc or button having two appendix pointing down. It makes me think to the system
used on the ’EXELSIOR LEVER made by William Gamble (Ferd Peters – Mechanical

Concerning
this second corkscrew, it looks like the « Ménagère » made by
Perille, except that the handle and the fly-nut have sharp sides. Give your opinion ! |
