Jim B. Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hope this is appropriate to share, but I thought it is something you don’t see everyday. I found it at my local park, a few inches down. I cleaned it up very nice, and I’m sure it is still strong enough to use. It says made in England. I was wondering if any had an idea on an age. Any guesses welcome! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I remember seeing about the same thing back in the 60’s but if you looked in a novelty shop you may still find them. Chuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I’ve found token coin that had heads on one side and tails on the other. I never seen that girls head on they said was heads . She was well endowed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy bottle opener.It would never sale that’s why you don’t see any. Chuck 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Jim, Is it bronze? Nice looking piece! I did a quick search and found a few others, but yours may be older, and is more "refined", like an Art Nouveau style figure! But yours has no pitting or corrosion that I can see! So maybe a more modern reproduction, or fairly recent drop! Or if old, your soil is very kind to your finds in that area! Crown style caps started around 1892! So it has to be newer than that!?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Bottle opener like that probably isn't that old. Think Chuck is right on the age. Cool find though and at least it cleaned up nice and you can put it to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck they have made them before, the center part of it is a corkscrew where the legs meet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
