Description |
Folding corkscrews with a bow shaped handle first appeared in England in the eighteenth century. Because of their compact size, folding corkscrews can be easily carried on one's person and, therefore, are also classified as pocket corkscrews. Some call them harps, which have been produced in hundreds of sizes. |
