Description |
German corkscrew with short bell. Its shaft is equipped with an repulsion sprinf. The wooden handle is painted a bright yellow colour, but its long use erased much for glimpse of hardwood, certainly oak. It is attached to the rod with a nail passing through it by one end. It fitted with a full worm with spires topped by cutting short a bell whose bottom edge is knurled. Purchased at Langenfeld in Germany. |
