Corkscrew Beware!
Brand new but with an antique style. Now consider the same pieces darkened
to look old.
Be aware of the many new corkscrews, designed with an antique style, made over the last couple of decades.
Many unscrupulous sellers age these pieces with patination fluid & scuff them to make them appear old.
