Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Vintage Brass
A Collection of Vintage Brass and Metal Corkscrews and Bottle Openers - A collection of vintage barware items, predominantly manufactured from brass and other metals. The group includes two large mechanical corkscrews: one of a double-lever wing design with a crescent-shaped handle, and another screw-pull model with a green-patinated frame. The frame of the screw-pull corkscrew features six circular relief symbols, depicting a horse, a rampant lion, a stag, a hand, and one containing the letters HZ. The lot also contains five decorative brass bottle openers in various forms, including a nude female figure, a rampant lion on a pedestal, a stylised hand, a horseshoe with a central heraldic crest, and a caduceus-inspired design with an entwined serpent. Additionally, the collection includes a chrome-plated travel corkscrew and cap lifter tool, which is stored in a brown leather snap-fastened pouch.
