Description |
French wing nut corkscrew from Perille. Use the top handle to insert the worm. Lift the cork by turning the triple wing nut, which is attached to the top of the frame. A traveling wing nut - it can traverse the threads of the screw, up, down, and back again. This very popular corkscrew has the characteristic to be the first of my collection. It was bought on a secondhand trade with Cepoy in Loiret (France). |
