A fine antique corkscrew dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring a beautifully turned wooden handle with ribbed decoration and a hidden compartment at the end (likely used for storing a small brush or pick).
The handle retains a rich patina from age and use, while the iron worm has surface wear and oxidation consistent with age. A small loop and fitting remain attached to the side of the handle, typical of late Victorian/Edwardian examples.
