Bennit Patent Self-Puller Corkscrew
Offered is this very fine example of William Bennit's 1883 U.S. patent, a self-puller corkscrew with fixed bell. It has a turned box-wood handle with decorative concentric rings. The brass bell which is fully marked, “PAT. MAY 15TH 1883".
I consider this example to be in excellent condition.
See photos and Bull, “The Ultimate Corkscrew Book”, page 17 and O’Leary, “Corkscrews”, page 65.
