This is a stunning Irish brass open frame corkscrew with winged flynut.  The free tuning large butterfly flynut is attached to top of the frame and rotates down the thread pulling the cork after the worm has been fully inserted.  The corkscrew side pillars are casting into corkscrew neck stand (An expensive construction). The corkscrew also uses slots nuts on the rod frame an early uncommon feature. The corkscrew is unmarked but is consistent with other pieces produced by the Irish cutler Thomas Read.  The corkscrew has a large neck ring for use on early globular bottles.  This piece is in supurb condition with no broken or damaged parts.  The corkscrew worm is full length with a sharp point.
