Corkscrews, Etc.
I have a thing for corkscrews, bottle openers, and other strange old kitchen utensils. I rarely use them, just like to admire them, the rustier and clunkier, the better. Here are few nice utensils I’ve found in various thrift shops (these 4 on sale in my etsy shop at the moment) ; simple and utilitarian in design. And I found a few more from some great Etsy shops…
This one from etsy shop “yesstreen” in particular is amazing and probably not wise to use after too much wine. Note: If I only read descriptions better, I would have read that this is really a corking device! Urbancombing (see her bottleopener below) mentioned she corked Elderberry champagne with one of these!:
Here are two nice ones from “oldisnew“. The first folds, perfect for your pocket. The second one should definitely be on display in a museum.

This one from “urbancombing” is more kitschy ’70s and doesn’t fall within my rusty, shabby chic category but nice nonetheless:
Then of course there are the odd ones:

And this one from “PortugueseVintage” is just lovely!
Thanks so much for featuring two corkscrews from my vintage shop. Your site is lovely and so is this post about vintage corkscrews!
Cheers!
