Antique Miniature Corkscrew Listerine Folding Corkscrew
Wonderful tiny corkscrew no bigger than a quarter, known as a Finger Pull corkscrew.
This was an advertising corkscrew for Listerine from approximately 1890 back before the bottle cap was invented even medical bottles needed a corkscrew to open, this little one would have been purchase with a bottle of Listerine. Measures 1” long folded and 1¾” unfolded and 5/8” wide barely large enough to get my pinky finger in the hole.
History,
