Prong Pullers / Cork Pullers
One of the first cork pullers I found upon moving to Chicago (we have since moved outside Boston) was a marked Converse. I happened on an estate sale, and found it in an old tool box. I walked up to the guy watching the door, and asked him how much. He told me to put it in my pocket and have a good day. Free!!!! Always a good price for an antique prong puller.
