The Old Toy Box

Hi my name is Noel and I have a small hobby of die-cast and toy collecting. I love vintage items specifically toy cars and motorcycles. I was also part of the London's Toy Auctioneer in 2007 and have personally collected quite a number of various small old toys while in England. Sadly, many ended up being sold on Ebay and gave away the rest to the little boys who couldn't resist model cars. But I am glad I have kept some photos of them so I could always share, look back and enjoy.

Vintage Cork Screw

This is a VINTAGE BOTTLE OPENER-CORKSCREW that I sold. This came with 100% leather sleeve/ casing. Screw is concealed by a metal cylindrical casing with a bottle opener tip. Pocket size only 4 inches long and possibly made of copper or brass or mixed aluminum. This could be an early patented design as evidenced by the serial number inscribed on the tip of the opener. Item was in good condition despite its age. Leather case needed stitching though.
