James with RiverRatAntiques has an awesome and unique collection of corkscrews offered on Etsy. I am very pleased with this purchase and past corkscrew purchases. The provided historical manufacture information and accurate descriptions of the condition of the corkscrews played a big part in my buying decisions. Thanks!
