English mechanical corkscrew from the 19th century, with rack and T-bar, signed by the manufacturer WP. Handle turned in patinated bone decorated with its original badger plume, steel helix wick under bell cage, side pinion mechanism. Technical piece sought after by helixophilia collectors: the bone + plume + rack combination is typical of British production from the second half of the 19th century. Total length 21 cm, complete handle 10.5 cm. ABE to be cleaned: surface oxidation, rack teeth partially worn, operation to be resumed — the whole remains complete and structurally sound. The plume, perfectly preserved, was used to dust the neck before uncorking.
