This is a unique, rare antique French corking
Boucheuse Record breveté S.G.D.G. from the early 1900s. It has an incredibly complex of mechanism with wheels, springs, levers, cables and plungers all designed to insert a cork in the top of a bottle…….
What a Corker!
Made of Brass, copper, steel & wood it’s just fantastic to look at, admire or use and yes it’s in full working condition. (Watch the video) It’s just such a
wonderful old piece of French wine making history.
Look at how this amazing contraption works.
Fill the copper bowl with corks, pull the handle down, then a cork drops down the centre of the machine, as you raise the handle back up the cork transfers under the plunger. Pull the handle down again and the cork is inserted the in the bottle. Phew!
