The twisted shank construction is characteristic of late 19th- to early 20th-century Continental European utility corkscrews, where simple forged mechanics were combined with shaped hardwood handles for domestic and tavern use. The suspension ring fitted to the handle suggests hanging storage or travel portability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"1210\"\u003eThe example retains a good honest surface with age-consistent wear to both wood and metal components. The worm remains relatively straight with usable point definition and no major losses visible. The wooden handle shows handling wear, minor surface abrasions, and age darkening. Metal surfaces display oxidation and patinated finish loss consistent with period use. The corkscrew remains mechanically usable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1346\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1880–1910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1233\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Guenther Collection, The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1291\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLength 14 cm; \u003cbr\u003eWidth 8.9 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eWeight: 36 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esteemed Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53942659678549,"sku":"TG 2.181","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2353\/1861\/files\/antique-wooden-t-handle-corkscrew-spiral-shaft-helical-worm.jpg?v=1779026061","url":"https:\/\/esteemedantiques.com\/products\/wooden-t-handle-corkscrew-with-spiral-shaft-and-helical-worm-continental-europe-c-1880-1910","provider":"Esteemed Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
