Description

There were many variations of the bennit cap, but none quite so successful as the Walker Bell, patented in 1893 by Edwin Walker, another American. A bell-shaped cap is loosely fitted between the worm and the shank; a Cotter pin keeps it from sliding up the shank. Known as Walker's Self Puller, these corkscrews became immensely popular.
An unmarked corkscrew with caplifter and wire cutter. W. A. williamson's US design patent No. D-29798, December 13, 1898.
