Type

Tee shape corkscrew

Mark

HAMELIN ou MAMELIN

Description

Corkscrew with wire worm assembled with a very pretty boxwood handle in the barrel shape. Front view, this corkscrew could have only little interest, on the other hand when it's looked at profile, we can note that the worm's heart is particularly broad with a engraved inscription. This type of worm is rather rare, I met it only on the corkscrews of James Wilson for double worms. It is difficult to decipher it: HAMELIN or MAMELIN, another inscription placed in lower part are even less readable, the pangs of time passed on this corkscrew which wants to preserve all its mystery.
