2019 Best Six

1/28/2020

Between the many corkscrew collecting clubs, one constant remains the same, the tradition of posting an annual picture of the 6 best corkscrews acquired during the year. This year, since I already had several new acquisitions mounted onto a board at the office, I thought it would be fun to have our employees vote on the final slot of this years best six. Option #1 at the top left is a Williamson stag horn corkscrew with a carved monkey head. Option #2 at the top center is a carved ivory Walker corkscrew with Sterling silver inlay. Option #3 on the top right is a carved stag horn corkscrew with a rooster head and silver end caps. All 3 are excellent corkscrews, each worthy of being included in this years best six. At first the voting was tied with 2 votes for each of the 3 corkscrews, but when I returned later to see the final tally, #3 had won with a total of 5 votes.

The people have spoken and without further adieu, here's my best 6 of 2019.

  1. Large Walker corkscrew with carved ivory handle inlaid with Sterling silver decoration. 
  2. Four pillar mechanical corkscrew with personalized ivory handle engraved with the original owner’s initials.  
  3. Unusual Thomason style corkscrew with octagonal monogrammed silver barrel with floral engraving.   
  4. Beautifully carved boars tusk corkscrew with Sterling end cap. The carving depicts a monkey running off with a wine bottle in his hand and his tail wrapped around a wine glass. 
  5. Walker corkscrew with carved ivory handle inlaid with Sterling silver decoration. The carving depicts a horse hoof.
  6. Carved stag horn with Sterling end cap and top decoration. The carving depicts a beautifully detailed rooster head.
