Description
This collection comprises an assortment of bar accessories and novelty openers featuring several branded pieces. Branded items include a Sapporo bottle opener designed in the style of a katana sword hilt, featuring a black handle with white vertical text and a yellow star at the pommel. A Beck’s branded cylindrical bottle opener in black and silver tones is housed in a black plastic presentation case alongside a gold-toned waiter’s friend corkscrew. This waiter’s friend is inscribed with the dates 1870 and 1995 and the name Davy’s, commemorating the 125th anniversary of the London-based wine merchant. The collection also includes a cast metal bottle opener in the form of a vintage motorcycle with a bronze-tone finish. A three-piece bar set is contained within a red vinyl folding pouch with snap closures, featuring tools with dark wooden handles including a foil cutter, a basic corkscrew, and a bottle opener. Additionally, there is a large T-handle corkscrew with a turned light wood handle and a silver-toned circular tool with double finger grips designed for use as a foil or cigar cutter.
