This Italian corkscrew of the end of the XIXème century is derived from the patent deposited in England by the firm Farrow & Jackson. It is a brass model with a butterfly nut. The shank and the screw are brazed on a disc which slides between the two columns allowing the guidance of the full worm. It should be noted that on these Italian models, the top of the cage is a bell shape. Bought in Italy at Modena. |
