Description |
Corkscrew outgoing from the Leboullanger factory in Vexin (France). This manufacturer personalized most of his production by an easily recognizable handle. The wood handle is turned and ringed, the medium of the handle is ringed of brass and often finished by brass ends, which is not the case with the model presented which ends in two spheres. It should be noted that it seems that the handle was wood blackened, there remain some traces that the patina of time did not completely erase. The full worm is centered point, it is prolonged by a round shank riveted on the top to fix the handle. Bought in France at Caux (Herault). |
