A very good quality made late 19thc corkscrew....it has a finely turned handle , made out of the finest lignum vitae and the maker has cleverly inserted the steel "screw" through the heartwood, so you get the full effect of the two colours of the darker hardwood and the lighter sapwood..... it is finished off with finely polished steel for the screw....it still retains the original badger hair bristles for dusting off the bottles....excellent colour and patination.
