Antique 1800s English Corkscrew with Gripping Easer and Horsehair Dusting Brush, Wine Bottle Opener

Antique 1800s English Corkscrew with Gripping Easer and Horsehair Dusting Brush
Wonderful piece of winery history. This example of a late-1800 Corkscrew with a couple extra features.
*The Deep Gripping Easer, this is the four points or teeth just above the worm (corkscrew) these hit the top of the cork as you turn the corkscrew the teeth grab the top of the cork twisting it and releasing the hold on the bottle allowing you to pull the cork with ease.
*The Dusting Brush, in the 1800s you would have ventured down to the root cellar to choose a bottle from the rack using the dusting brush to clean the dust and dirt off the bottle before opening.
The corkscrew also has a hanging ring at the top of the handle.
This will make a wonderful gift or a great addition to any collection.
