Vintage 1950s Syroco Clown Hidden Corkscrew Wine Bottle Opener - Retro Barware Decor Gift

Rare Syroco Clown with Hidden Corkscrew.
Wonderful find, this full bodied Syroco Clown corkscrew. I say full bodied because these were also offered without the body, (head and corkscrew only). This is the walnut-stained version they were also offered in a painted version. Many collectors say this Clown is one of the rarest & hardest Syroco Corkscrews to find.

History,
Syroco the Syracuse Ornamental Company was founded in 1890 and produced a line of decorative accessories for home and office. The corkscrews are compression molded with a composition of wood powder and thermoset resin. The corkscrews and bells were manufactured by the Williamson Company of Newark, New Jersey. The Syroco catalogs place the corkscrews in the period of 1940-1950.
