The Corkscrew: A Thing of Beauty!

Over the last two decades antique corkscrews have become highly collectable and valuable with some reaching five figure sums at auction. In this talk John shares his enthusiasm for corkscrews, tracing their history and development from the eighteenth century while demonstrating some of the more intriguing and bizarre mechanisms for extracting corks from bottles!

‘A number of members were amazed at how interesting corkscrews can be! ’
