More than 4,500 corkscrews spanning three centuries are organized
into 59 chapters featuring over 3,000 color photos. This huge
volume gives details of the corkscrews presented in a
reader-friendly form: you'll find descriptions and markings, as
well as patent and registered design information. Part 1 has 18
chapters and focuses on the early history of the corkscrew,
including more than 900 corkscrews primarily from the 18th century
and even corkscrew sale sheets from that era. In Part, 2 over 3,600
corkscrews are organized in 41 chapters according to types,
including Bar & Wall Mounted, Bells, Bows, Rack & Pinion,
Screwless Extractors, Whistles, and a final chapter called Worthy
of Mention. The three authors represent their own collections as
well as those from other enthusiasts in North America, Europe, and
Australia. The book is a compendium of knowledge unprecedented in
the history of corkscrew collection.
