Corkscrews show the amazing creativity devoted to removing a cork from a bottle. Over the last 200 years, straight pulls, levers, frames and mechanical screws have all been applied to this simple task. The golden age of the corkscrew was the nineteenth century, with a remarkable diversity of materials and approaches. Overall it has taken some 300+ years of evolution from pre-industrial revolution right up to today's scientific age and has given us more than enough for a lifetime of collecting!
