DESCRIPTION
18th C Etui
Very elegant cylindrical 18th Century etui in silver and black leather containing 2 knife blades, a needle/pricker, tweezers with ear scoop at the end, delicate folding scissors, and of course a corkscrew. This has an amazing tight multi-bladed Archimedean worm. The corkscrew and the tools have a threaded top which screws into a hole at the bottom of the case, which acts as the handle. The head of the worm has a knop with a hole through it, and the pricker fits through it to create a T handle for pulling the cork. 10 cms long.
See Peters & Giulian – Pocket Corkscrews – page 10.
