19th Century Henshall Type Corkscrew W192
An early 19th century direct pull corkscrew, with a turned handle of lignum vitae which holds a cleaning brush. The shank and screw/worm is iron. It has the Henshall button, a feature of the 1st corkscrew patent of 1795. It was created by the Rev Samual Henshall, in collaboration with Matthew Boulton of Birmingham. The purpose of the "button" was to compress and turn the cork once the worm was fully inserted, thereby breaking the bond between cork and bottle. An ingenious yet simple invention!
This example is in very good condition. A perfect gift to celebrate Christmas! Circa 1820
Length: 14.5cm
Handle: 9.5cm
Handle and Brush: 12.5cm
