Samuelsen’s Pat From 17-11-1903. It was also patentedin Sweden 12-07-1904, Norway 01-10-1904, Germany 03-01-1904, England 15-11-1904, Austria15-04-1905.

A lot of great corkscrews andeven though I stopped listing sales at the $700.00 range the auctionoffers corkscrews all the way down to $100.00. So there is somethingfor everyone.
