Superb old Walrus Ivory corkscrew by Will & Finck and straight from the Barbary Coast. As an added plus, this one has the original owner's initials carved in the handle. Boars hair brusk and mellow overall patina make this one the finest example we've handled in a long time. The simplest tools had a lot of style back then. Check it out, under "Antiques," with a few more of its closest friends.

This is beautiful. I have a knife of my great grandfathers that I think is also made by this company.
We'd be pleased for the opportunity to examine your grandfather's knife should the occasion ever arise. Thanks for writing!
