Mar...Commentaire transmis par Bertrand B. Giulian :<br />Marc,<br />Thank you for your regular sending of your blog. I enjoy your research and comments very much.<br />I was interested in your corkscrew with anchor handle and Henshall-type button. There is a similar corkscrew in the upcoming World-Class Corkscrew book.<br />I think that the anchor handles can be considered in a category along with other iron handles. The earliest are the straight T, sometimes called "spindle", that are found earlier in the 18th c. on some French cages. These straight handles are also found on later T corkscrews and evolved in the 18th c. as cruciform and curved "crescent" shaped handles. A type of crescent handle was illustrated in the Schimmelbusch Master Book from 1789, and a plain spindle handle with slight taper was shown in a Birmingham trade catalog with paper watermarked 1799. I believe that the anchor shape also developed in the 18th c. and some of these handles continued to be made into the 19th c.<br />Your anchor handle corkscrew with hand turnings on the shank and serrations on the underside of the button I would estimate as early 19th c., c. 1800.
