Roundlet corkscrews can be found in a
variety of forms but typically they are of a
cigar like shape & have a threaded
capsule that opens to reveal the worm.
Once opened the worm is pulled out, the
capsule is then closed & acts as the
handle.

The majority of roundlet corkscrews were
manufactured with a nickel finish but
other materials were also used such as
celluloid, wood, silver & even gold.
Roundlet corkscrews often surface with a multi tool function & look out for a roundlet corkscrew which
doubles up as a whistle.

patent dates to 1855.
