Description

Small corkscrew with full worm with not centered point (the point is broken). I allot it to the Burel house about 1870. The bent shaft crosses the handle in brown horn encrusted with mother-of-pearl one says it “burgauté” to be subdued in order to make it interdependent. The catch in hand is pleasant (bought at Bussière Galant - France).
