Old and antique corkscrews always bought at top

Hi, I'm Peter, a self confessed corkscrew collecting addict.

I regularly buy interesting old corkscrews at antique fairs, boot sales, UK
auction houses, on ebay & via other Internet sellers but I'd be very happy
to skip the middle man & buy directly from you. You could save the hefty
commission fees that ebay & auction houses charge & I'll guarantee you a
quick, easy and trouble free transaction at a great price. I could even
collect for cash if it suited you best. Just drop me a line, preferably with a
photograph or two of the corkscrew(s) you have for sale & I'll get back as
quick as a flash with a great offer. I've bought a number of complete
collections over the years & I would be happy to buy your collection of
corkscrews.

Really looking forward to hearing from you!

Here are some English corkscrews that I'm always interested in buying.
This is a 19th century corkscrew by George
Twigg, an interesting piece with a crab piece
locking device. George Twigg patented a
number of similar corkscrews, all are of
interest to me. This example is marked on
both posts "G. Twigg's Patent". Other
examples are marked  “G. TWIGG’S PATENT
ENGLAND OCTOBER 10 1867” on one side
of the frame and “G. TWIGG’S PATENT U.S.
AMERICA JAN.21 1868” on the other side.
