Description
An early to mid 19th Century turned bone handle Corkscrew with the "Samuel Henshall" Button and Badger Hair dusting Brush. The Henshall Button was the invention of Reverend Samuel Henshall of Oxford in 1795. The idea is that once the worm is fully into the cork, with one final turn the cork is compressed and turned breaking the bond between cork and bottle and so making it easier to extract. In very good condition.
