Well, that was exciting!
On Saturday and Sunday, the 983 corkscrew auction lots came to an end with many corkscrews changing hands, with said corkscrews soon to be sent off to collectors across the world.
There were a few bidding wars, a few that snuck through, and a few that garnered attention after the auction was over.
I managed to win a couple (I guess technically 14) and I am quite pleased.
The first, is an interesting multi-tool that I have been hunting for a while. I actually already own this piece, but, it was missing the fold out blade, and I have after a complete one for some time–more on this piece soon!
And, I picked up another Sterling spoon with folding corkscrew.
And, after the dust had settled, I agreed to a fair price on a box of a dozen Greeley cork pullers. I don’t really need a box of Greeley cork pullers, but it will make for a nice display amongst the other cork pullers in the collection.
