WILLIAMSON'S Corkscrew Wine Bottle Opener Flat Wood T Handle Boot Lever 5.5" Vtg

Discover a rare piece of brewing history with this antique C.T. Williamson "Boot Lever" corkscrew, manufactured between 1879 and 1920. Produced in Newark, New Jersey, specifically for the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, this tool dates back to the era when beer bottles were sealed with corks rather than crown caps. It features the iconic flat-sided wood T-handle and the signature sliding "separating tube" over the shank. The metal shank is clearly stamped "WILLIAMSON'S," and while the handle stamp is weathered, the "WILLIAMSON'S MFG CO NEWARK" mark remains partially visible. This is a must-have for collectors of Breweriana, Anheuser-Busch memorabilia, or early American mechanical corkscrews.
