Mystery has been solved.. Its a Cork Pull.. Here's picture of patent.. & Thanks to all.
Found this item sometime back. Don't know what this is. Found it at bottom of a tackle box. is it for fishing?? or Silver war item??. . like to get it I.D.. Its patent July 30 1867.. Unfortunately no patent dates. Appreciate any information help on this. Size 4 1/2 x 3". Thank you
If there is a grove between the 2 holes (on the un-pix'd side) it could be a stitching awl.
Posted another picture looks like it does have grooves. Tks
Not exactly what I was expecting. This isn't matching what I was thinking it might be. An "awl", it isn't! That little flip-floppy thing in the lower hole really has me baffled. Does it have a pin thru it like it is hinged?
I'm at a loss now.
I was on my way to some kind of awl as well. Don't see any thread so no bottle owner.
duh - opener
I was hoping I would have a vision, explaining it's use after another Corona. Ah, didn't work! Maybe a few more? If that doesn't work, I'll try a hash brownie Sunday. LOL!!
Well, I had visions, but not about this! That little flip-floppy thing in the lower hole, just destroys any ideas I have! I'm not sure the Sunday Hash-Brownie Tour is going to help on this. We can hope!
That little "flip-flop" thing at the bottom hole, just stresses me out. Well, there's Sunday! I'll bet you're taking me seriously by now!! LOL!! Well, the SHBT is for real, but I wouldn't count on any revelations!! LOL!!

Thanks For the love and help to I.D
That's too cool. My wife collects cork screws but has nothing like that one.
Guess I'll have to work on other visions & revelations on my tour. Guess I'll concentrate on why people always hold crackers with the salted side up, as if the salt might fall off the other way. LOL!!
Had you gone for a glass of wine instead of a Corona, you may have had the answer.
AT, we know the answer, but it's fun to pop that question at somebody, out of the blue & read their minds thru their pupils! LOL!!
I am pleased this is solved. I was worried that a proctologist would identify it.
