Baffled

[fsperry]

Hey everyone, I've been collecting bottles for nearly forty years, been to a few shows, sales, auctions, etc., but I have yet to see only a few corkscrews. With all the bottles produced with cork tops, you would think that the dumps, privies, and antique shops would be loaded with them. Is it because they rust away so quickly? Anybody have some in their "go-withs"?

EDIT: OOPS!! I should read the OP a little better before typing! I thought you were talking about screw-top bottles. Disregard.

I dont know what to tell ya about corkscrews. I have only ever found mebbe one or two on a dump, I usually leave'em lay because they are rusted up or missing handles.

Here's a discussion on cork screws, there's also a link to another discussion inside it.
