Hand Carved Corkscrew

with dogs head handle

Beautiful vintage corkscrew with a hand-carved handle in the form of a dog's head with inset glass eyes. The screw is metal and is tarnished in places but still perfectly usable. I would hazard a guess that the dog is a Labrador or similar. It has been superbly well carved out of a single piece of wood and many of the original carving strokes are still visible in the patina of the wood.

I believe it dates from the early 20th Century. It has certainly been well used and well loved. It is in good original condition - the only point to note is that there is a small split in the wood on the back of his head (see last photo). I don't think it detracts from the overall appeal and it certainly doesn't detract from its ability to display beautifully or its functionality.

Measurements :

Total Length : 5 1/2" (14cm)

Length of Screw : 3 3/4" (9.5cm)

Width of Head : 1 1/2" (3.5cm)
