Cast in brass with an integral T-handle depicting the legendary Dartmoor Pixie standing upon a mushroom, it incorporates a traditional steel worm fixed into a brass ferrule. The design belongs to the long-established straight-pull family, where the worm is screwed directly into the cork before extraction by hand.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eThis example retains its original steel worm, brass ferrule and original stitched leather sheath.
