This past month I won a few corkscrews, some of which may be Best Six contenders. The first is a ladies legs corkscrew with rare advertising plates, a stag horn corkscrew marked Williamson, a rare hexagonal wood handled corkscrew featuring intricate Sterling silver endcaps depicting various vices, a nice Lund lever corkscrew, and a Shamrock bar mounted corkscrew.

I've finally received the lot that I recently won on Ebay with a mystery roundlet corkscrew with an unknown engraving for a mere $0.99 and the mystery of the engraving is now solved. This is an early advertising piece marked "BARTHOLOMAY ROCHESTER". Bartholomay was a pre-prohibition brewery operating in Rochester, NY. The corkscrew itself was produced in Germany based on the markings on the shank.
