An Edwardian gentleman's pocket utility tool serves as a practical folding corkscrew and knife combination, dating to 1901 and attributed to Harrison Bros. The piece consists of a bright polished sterling silver casing paired with dark steel folding elements, including a spiral worm and functional blades. Visible details include crisp British hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver body alongside maker initials GH, alongside structural steel pins securing the multi-piece frame, dark oxidation patches on the metal surfaces, and a contoured shape formed to fit comfortably in the hand. The object measures 9 cm in length when fully closed. Today, the corkscrew fits neatly as a display element or functioning accessory atop a library desk, study table, or traditional sideboard in a period home. Collector interest centres on the sturdy folding construction, the clear silver hallmarks, and the authentic Edwardian pedigree. The multi-bladed pocket layout displays everyday pocket-tool engineering typical of the early twentieth century, making it an engaging item for cabinet display or table-top use during hosting.

FAQs

Folding sterling silver corkscrews are portable wine-opening devices developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed to be carried as personal pocket tools for travel or picnics.

These implements typically feature a solid sterling silver outer casing or scales fitted over a steel liner, housing a folding steel worm or helix alongside auxiliary utility blades.

Authentic British examples feature official hallmarks stamped into the silver casing, including a makers mark, town mark, date letter, and the lion passant symbol indicating sterling silver purity.

This compact object can be styled on a silver bar tray, displayed inside a glass-topped shadow box, or placed beside decanters on a sideboard or drinks cabinet.

Clean the silver casing gently using a soft cloth and silver polish, taking care to keep moisture away from the internal steel mechanism to prevent rust.
