1950s ~ French Vintage Grapevine Corkscrew ~ Collectible Wine Opener ~ Made in France LOIRE Valley & Bordeaux

Rustic French Vintage Grapevine Root Cork Screw/Wine Bottle Opener/Wooden Twisted Cork Screw/Burl Wood Cork Screw was made from the root of a grapevine. They were manufactured in the Loire Valley which makes them unique as there is a large presence of wine in this region. They are also not recent and the original owner informed me that he acquired them in the 1950s. This could be evidenced by the years of dust and sticky grim I removed from them to restore them back to close to original condition. They are either engraved "Laurent Siret Rochefort S/Loire" on the metal corkscrew or there is a metal plate imprinted with vineyard name or town in the Loire Valley (except St Emillion is in Bordeaux).
