Austrian Figural Corkscrews

Reader Wayne Meadows writes: "I am doing research for our Austrian figural corkscrew book. Your news letter is much more expedient and far reaching than other media, so I thought that I would see if The Weekly Screw readers can help. I am interested in finding out how many of these relatively rare “black cat” corkscrews (above) marked 'RR Made in Austria' exist. Any additional information on any Austrian figurals is welcome. Email wmeadows@telus.net."
