These were used to cut the wire cage holding champagne corks. This example was made by Thomas Turner & co Sheffield circa late 1800s. It also has a brush for dusting the bottle from the cellar. s-k

cool one, s-k! that would be the heavy duty or "professional" version, eh?

you are correct Johnnie.

This must be a delux 'professional version'. Along with the snippers and the brush, it has a cork gripper and a serrated end for cutting wax/foil. s-k

same cutlery?

Unfortunately, this one is unmarked. A number of companies made this type of tool so don't know who made it . s-k

Just acquired this champagne tool. It is marked with the Royal Warrant for William the IV 1830-1837. I'm still looking for information on Evans London Bridge. s-k
