Several years ago, I was assigned to write an article about an antiques dealer in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC. His shop was filled with antique corkscrews, and I was fascinated. My few hours spent with the owner had me hooked. And, a new collection was about to start.
Armed with a $5 limit per corkscrew, I started my quest. The limitation on price meant diligent hunting, and frequent early early mornings at flea markets. You would be amazed at what five bucks can get you however.
I still believe there are those hidden treasures out there, which keeps me looking. While my price limit has gone up (not by much), I still think the best, and most satisfying, way to build a collection is through the hunt.
So, enjoy perusing my collection. And, if you too are a collector looking to make a trade, someone who has a single corkscrew (or collection) with which you wish to part, or if you just want information about these wonderfully twisted yet utilitarian objects, drop me a line.
