These are related to those famous Lady Legs corkscrew. Obviously the same design, but with different legs.
They were produced in Germany. They are registered DRGM 21718, by Steinfeld & Reimer on January 23, 1894.
The leg scales are made of brown celluloid. Both legs fold out wide and act as the handle for the corkscrew. This style is referenced as a “folding corkscrew”.
I’ve owned this piece before, but looking for a replacement. Anyone got one? I’d be interested in working a deal.
