We can help you sell your
Antique Corkscrews and related Patented and Mechanical Antiques!!
I buy, sell, and am interested in helping you sell many different
varieties of antique and
vintage corkscrews or other wine related memorabilia.
Corkscrews and other can / jar openers are an interesting and
fun collectible category. They are graphic, can still be found, and Mechanical and patented
vintage corkscrews fit right in with the
main focus of our tool and technology interests.
We are seeking vintage corkscrews
ranging from early patented American examples
to interesting mechanical corkscrews from other countries that
produced interesting patented & mechanical designs as well.
We
have sold many interesting antique corkscrews over the years, and
I would like to share with you some pictures and information about some of the nicer or more
interesting ones that we have handled.
In addition to corkscrews we are also
interested in buying other early pre-1900 patented antique bottle, jar,
and can openers
as well. We have
had and sold some rare and exotic
examples of these as well, and are always on the lookout for more.
If you have an interesting or
unusual corkscrew or patented can
opener for sale contact us by email at
LCM@AntiqBuyer.com
with details
The Internet has certainly
brought a lot of
information about corkscrews and can openers
into the open, and has made many of them seem
very common. There are a host of
wonderful corkscrew books
available that have been published over the years. We have
some of these and they have been a great help as well as an inspiration to
find more corkscrews. Both of
these sources of information
have helped us to better understand this intriguing and
challenging collecting category.
We can help you utilize the Internet to
sell antique corkscrews or other unusual bottle and
can openers as the supply of interesting ones
certainly seems to be drying up at the normal venues where they use to
appear.
I once got a
nice ivory handled one (pictured above top left corner) which was
made by Michael Price, the renowned California Gold Rush-era cutlery maker.
I found it at a local show here in
California, but these kind of finds are few and
far between these days. We have not been seeing many other interesting ones here in California
recently even
though we live in what is now known as a great wine grape growing (viticulture) area.
