Sorry, this item has sold.

John Dewar Old Highland Whisky Antique Mini Bottle Corkscrew, Whiskey Collectible.
Wonderful find this mini bottle advertising corkscrew for the John Dewar & Sons Old Highland Whisky.
The corkscrew was made by the Williamson Company of Newark New Jersey and patented in 1897.
Unscrew the bottle and fold out the hidden corkscrew, screw the bottle back together to form a handle for the corkscrew.
Corkscrew is a nickel-plated finish over brass with steel corkscrew.

**Why a corkscrew for whiskey? The bottle cap was not invented until the late 1800s by the Crown Cork Co. Baltimore and not highly used until into the early 1900s. Before the cap was introduced most all bottles had corks including Medicines, Perfumes and Alcohol.

**How to spell Whiskey / Whisky, it is generally spelled Whiskey with an (E) in the United States and Ireland.
It is spelled Whisky without the (E) in Scotland and Canada, and several other countries.
