French Bague Perille 1884 Patent
Nice nickel plated steel frame corkscrew with a swivel over collar with a loop which is marked “Bague J-P” for the 1884 French Patent of Jacques Perille.
This is the early version shown in the patent drawing – the balls at the end of the handle have a raised bevelled patterned edge across their middles.
See Bidault – Les Brevets de Tire-Bouchons Francais – page 95, Peters – Mechanical Corkscrews – page 150, Ellis – Corkscrews – page 140.
Condition – Very good, some marks and scratches on the frame, worm has lost its very end tip, mechanism works OK.
