It was only a few months ago that I acquired a large oversized art piece of a can opener with corkscrew and now I've just outdone myself with an even larger piece. This one is a heavy cast piece resembling a common French Perille corkscrew; pictured with a real one for scale. If anyone has any information on this piece then please let me know as I've never seen one like it. I would imagine that this is a somewhat never creation, I.E. 2000+, possibly made in India? It doesn't seem like it would have been made as a home decor item as its a little too large and heavy. Could it have been an item produced for wine & liquor store displays?; that also seems a little improbable. Was this a custom one off piece?; it's possible, but a good amount of work went into creating this, so I would imagine that there would have at least been several produced. Anyway, this is now officially the largest "corkscrew" in the collection.
