A "chromed" Corky.
The first U. S. distributor for Corky was Kraftware of 225 5th Avenue, New
York.
Brookstone Company of New
Hampshire currently sells the Corky as
their Air Pressure Cork Popper at
$20.00. Brookstone advertising copy
reads:
The easy, safe and fun way to open a
bottle of wine. Just insert the needle
through the cork and
pump the spring-
loaded handle. Air pressure forces the
cork out. Eliminates the cork particles
regular corkscrews sometimes leave
behind. Works on even dry, fragile
corks. Won't affect flavor of wine. Protective sleeve fits over needle.
