Earlier this month there was an auction in Canada with several great lots which each featured several groups of rare corkscrews. I was fortunate enough to win all but one of the lots that I was interested in. As you can see there are lots of great pieces including several ladies legs including rare variants like the wavy legs and metal scaled legs, lots of peg & worm corkscrews, a few old pocket corkscrews, a 4-pillar mechanical with an obscure marking, and more! One of the more interesting pieces I discovered a few days later; a small advertising finger pull marked Kepler malt extract voice tabloids made with cocaine.

The title says it all. I saw this on eBay, made a fair offer and a week later it was here as a great addition to the collection. Will it make my Best 6 for the year? It's certainly a strong contender, but hopefully there will be some even better pieces before the year is over.
