Antique Solon Brass Steel Ball Bearing Corkscrew, Lovely Condition

Antique

This antique corkscrew is a very pretty example of one of the better designed implements, in my view as an engineer. It has a ball-bearing load carrying compartment at the top of the body and has a very smooth operation. Marked “Solon” on the one side and “DRGM No 152004” on the other it is very neat and the plain brass finish is rather more appealing than the normal plated finish. It measures 13cm in length and 6.5cm across the handle and is in very good, fully functional condition with a sharp, undamaged helical screw.
