For the longest time I thought that we were the only corkscrew collectors in Dallas. That was, until I sold an item on ICCA auctions several years ago and was surprised to see that the address on the invoice was only a few miles away from my home. Intrigued, I sent a message to the buyer and invited him over pick up the item in person and to have a drink down in the wine cellar. We talked about corkscrews and got to know each other over some good wine. We kept in touch over the years and I was recently invited over to his house to see his new wine cellar and corkscrew displays. His collection consists mainly of Sterling silver roundlets and totals 150 or so corkscrews.

We recently returned from a trip to Mexico. There weren't any antique stores there, but I did have some nice corkscrews waiting for me when I got back. First is a beautiful carved ivory Corkscrew with Sterling end caps and decoration. Next is a phenomenal carved dragon corkscrew with Sterling silver tail followed by two boars tusk corkscrews with Sterling end caps; the first with a carving of a deer and the second with carvings of grape leaves.
