DESCRIPTION
Thomason with Badge and Fancy Handle
Lovely classic Thomason corkscrew with a bronze barrel with brushed line finish and decorative lines across. It has a lovely wooden handle with a very unusual knopped ball end, and with a brush. There is a bevelled fixing on top of the handle and bevelled top of the brass inner shaft.
The brass badge has a Royal Coat of Arms and is marked “Ne Plus Ultra”, the Thomason logo. Edward Thomason patented his invention in 1802.
