Bar Bar Bar

Madrid, Spain - In January 1977, D. Enrique Stuyck Roma and D. Francisco Ortiz Valderrama patented their "Sacacorchos Descapsulador Perfeccionado." The example pictured here is marked JAPAN STAINLESS STEEL. It comes in a leather tube. One end pulls off to reveal a combination cap lifter and can piercer. On the other end is a worm which folds into position with the bar serving as the handle.
