| Description |
Corkscrew with bell and flynut. It is
called the "beehive", one includes/understands
easily why. It was manufactured by the establishments Boué & Deveson.
It is not without pointing out Pérille ménagère with her higher wing
in the shape of french cocked hat and its flynut. The wings of these corkscrews
could have different forms (cf. illustration). The characteristic
of this corkscrew comes from the bell produced in very tight spring
wire. The stem prolonged by a full worm slides freely in the bell. For
its use, turn the higher wing to insert the worm, then to extract the
cork while turning the flynut, which is assembled between the wing and
the open cage. The full worm is with centered point. The screw slides
freely in the cage. Bought out of Champagne. |
