Williamson “Power Cone” Corkscrew

Known as the "Power Cone", this corkscrew was manufactured by the C.T. Williamson Company of Newark, New Jersey. Although the wire component was made based on Clough’s patent of February 1, 1876, this frame version was made by Williamson.

I consider this example to be in excellent condition. It is marked "Williamson".

Postage–Since the U.S. Postal Service offers a number of options for international postage, depending on the level of security desired and customs issues, please contact me well before the close of auction for available options and an estimate of costs. The cost of postage will include the purchase of a Certificate of Mailing. Since I can not be responsible once I have mailed the item, by bidding the bidder agrees to accept all risk of damage or loss, and that in the unlikely event of such problem, I will only be responsible for providing the buyer with the postage receipt and the Certificate of Mailing as proof the item was mailed. Please be assured, however, that I pack well, and always attach the mailing address securely to the item inside the package should it become separated.  

The invoice will include all costs and payment information. I usually email invoices within 24 hours of the close of the auction.
