Earlier this month ICCA members gathered for the Annual General Meeting which was located in London this year. I was unfortunately unable to attend this year, but it looks like everyone had a great time and acquired some new corkscrews. To my surprise, soon after I was told that I had won the Frank MacDonald award for the most outstanding Best Six. Pictures of the Best Six in question are below. Hopefully I'll be able to top this Best Six in the future. So far, it's looking like 2024 will be a pretty good one.  Best 6 - 2023

A very interesting corkscrew turned up a few weeks ago at an auction house in the UK. A one of a kind Dutch silver double seal corkscrew. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it. But with any valuable corkscrew, its always a good idea to get a picture of the helix before bidding. I asked a week prior to the auction for a picture and got a response that they had added a picture to the catalog. A day before the auction, I ask again for a picture and they send me one showing that there is virtually nothing left of the helix, a very unfortunate revelation. With this in mind, I opted not to bid, but was somewhat surprised to see that it sold for so much. Hopefully, the buyer was aware of the condition. Nonetheless, it's still a very interesting corkscrew and would at least display well.   |
