Cellerman corkscrews

This group of old corkscrews are known as cellerman corkscrews. Your fingers grasp the
loop & then muscle power extracts the cork. A simple, slim shanked unmarked cellerman
corkscrew, can be found quite easily for under a fiver. More interesting variants with fancy
shanks, finger holes, buttons & bearing the makers stamps drive the price steeply upwards.
I've enjoyed compiling this corkscrew guide, I hope it can be of
assistance to you. If you'd like to get in touch it would be great to hear
from you.
