Antique Corkscrews
We can help you sell your
Antique Corkscrews and related Antiques!!
I am interested in many different
varieties of antique and vintage corkscrews or other wine related memorabilia. We are seeking examples
ranging from 
early patented American examples
to interesting mechanical corkscrews from other countries that
produced interesting patented designs as well.
Mechanical and patented corkscrews fit right in with the
main focus of our tool and technology interests, and our wine drinking
habit. Corkscrews are interesting, very graphic, fun to find,
still a
vailable,
and a popular collectible.
We
have sold many interesting antique corkscrews over the last
few years, and
I would like to share with you some pictures of the nicer or more
interesting ones that we have handled.
In addition to corkscrews we are also
interested in buying other early pre-1900 patented antique bottle, jar,
and can openers 
as well. We have
had and sold some rare and exotic
examples of these, and are always on the lookout for more.
If you have an interesting or
unusual corkscrew or patented can
opener for sale contact us by email
at LCM@AntiqBuyer.com
with details.
The Internet has certainly
brought a lot of
information about corkscrews and can openers out into the open, an
d has made many of them seem
very common. There are a host of
wonderful corkscrew books
available that have been published over the years as well. We have
some of these and they have been a great help as well as an inspiration to
find more corkscrews. Both of
these sources of information
have helped us to better understand this intriguing and
challenging collecting category.
Hopefully we can utilize the Internet to help us in
our attempt to find more antique corkscrews or other unusual bottle and
can openers as the supply of interesting ones
certainly seems to be drying up in the outside world. 
I once got a
nice ivory handled one (pictured above top left corner) which was
made by Michael Price, the renowned California Gold Rush-era cutlery maker, at a local show here in
California. But these kind of finds are few and
far between. We have not been seeing many other interesting ones here in California even
though we live in what is now known as a great wine grape growing (viticulture) area.
I can help you sell your antique mechanical corkscrews
that are patented or similar to those I have pictured on this page.
