[01-1671] This item is 6.5" long fully extended, is marked "Made in England Sterling", but curiously no makers mark or hallmarks. One end has what looks like a small cork screw but certainly couldn't be used to open a wine bottle. 6 sided and covered with engine turning. I'm guessing that it's alcohol related. IP: Logged |

June and I have several. We know what they are. I love to see what people will guess so I will be remain silent for now. Sometimes the guesses are better than the actual answer. IP: Logged |

My money is on a champagne swizzle stick to remove the bubbles from champagne so that they don't tickle your nose. Very roaring 20's. I guess the corkscrew end is supposed to suggest how to turn or swizzle the stick. IP: Logged |

I just bought one at a local fair here in Tucson. The seller had no idea what it was and I had not yet extended the slide to expose the prongs. My wife found it disturbing to think that someone would want to pop the bubbles in Champagne. Fred IP: Logged |

kayvee is correct, though we have to agree with FredZ's wife: Why? IP: Logged |

Just a fad at the time, like premium coffees today. Why not use it to foam up your latte or cappucino?? IP: Logged |

The corkscrew-like appendage could be another bar tool, such as an olive pick. As vathek pointed out, it is not an actual corkscrew. IP: Logged |
