Marked MONOPOL, UNIVERSAL, D.R.G.M. and GERMANY, it represents an early twentieth-century development in mechanical extraction systems, combining corkscrew and bottle-opening functions within a compact and practical design. The mechanism operates by placing the bell over the bottle neck and rotating the handle to drive and extract the cork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example remains complete and presents well, retaining traces of its original nickel plating together with honest age-related wear and surface patina.
