William Scagel corkscrew
I'm interested in information about corkscrews made by William Scagel.
I'm a dedicated corkscrew collector and I just acquired one. Marked on the shank: HANDMADE W SCAGEL with a knife trademark. It's a straightpull with a crown seal caplifter extending from the shank. It has a horn/antler handle. The shank,caplifter and wire screw are formed from one piece of iron attached to the handle with brass fittings.
I'd like to post pictures of it but I see that the posting rules prohibit me from posting attachments. Presumably because I just joined the forum?
I've found details of one other Scagel corkscrew sold at a major Scargel auction back in 2002
