Results of the mystery lot of corkscrews

As I stated in my last blog post, the lot of corkscrews that I purchased was pretty large. There are some quality pieces, but also plenty of not so great and more modern pieces. The most interesting piece(s) can be found in the last picture. A turned wood handled corkscrews with brush and archimedean worm marked Farrow & Jackson on the shank (as well as another marked Farrow & Jackson T handle on the top right of the last picture). Most corkscrews collectors are most likely familiar with the Farrow & Jackson name, but I was surprised to find it on a basic T handle corkscrew since the name is most often associated with more mechanical type corkscrews. Anyway in addition to the unusual Farrow & Jackson pieces there are also several Syrocco pieces as well as plenty of decent corkscrews in the lot. Unfortunately there wasn't an ultra rare piece hiding in the rubble, but not a bad buy overall. More great corkscrews on the way!
