This is one of the most famous and oldest French corkscrews: the Zig Zag.
The corkscrew dates from 1953, so this year it is celebrating its 68th birthday.
It was invented by the French Jules Bart from Nancy and registered as a patent in 1919 (see "Les tire-bouchons extensibles" by Jacques Lapierre, page 61))
Length: closed 16.5cm, open 26cm.
Material: steel
Condition: age-related signs of wear, see photos.
The Zig Zag is an ingenious corkscrew.
Due to the scissors principle and its leverage, even stuck corks can be pulled with ease.
The Zig Zag is an ideal gift for wine lovers and collectors.
An absolute rarity
