Extremely Rare Brit. BRADFORD RATCHET,
German Specification Pat. 41.630
Only one was offered and sold at ICCAuctions before, see listing # 3570
On Jan.15, 1884 patent 1.443 was granted to William H. K. Bradford England for a ratchtet device concealed on the underside of the handle. It enables the user to turn the worm into the cork without releasing the grip on the handle by using a backward and forward motion. A small handle, a firm cross bar or a milled disc was fixed to the lower part of the shaft to allow the worm to be held stationary during the removal of the cork from the worm.
This example is the German specification with the firm cross bar,
patented on Jun. 08, in 1887. Pat.No. 41.630
