The opener belongs to the mid-20th century family of novelty bar tools in which the functional cap-lifting element is incorporated into the base. Here, a recessed screw-fixed steel plate forms the working opener. Pieces of this type sit within American figural barware, where utilitarian bottle-opening function is combined with a cast sporting dog form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003eThe present example is made in cast white metal with a cold-painted finish. It shows honest age-related wear, including paint loss, abrasions, and surface rubbing to the high points. The base plate remains intact and secure, and the marking “Rubal New York” is clearly visible. The opener remains usable, and the casting appears structurally sound with no evident cracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1950–1970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Guenther Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight 7.82 cm\u003cbr\u003eLength 17.8 cm\u003cbr\u003eWidth 5.38 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1346\"\u003eWeight: 357 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esteemed Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53685795029333,"sku":"TG  CC 02","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2353\/1861\/files\/1_b8c82430-6fad-4e7b-a4da-64d336e931fd.jpg?v=1776190727","url":"https:\/\/esteemedantiques.com\/products\/english-setter-figural-crown-cork-bottle-opener-cast-white-metal-rubal-new-york-usa-c-1950-1970","provider":"Esteemed Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
