German Hammer

German Design Registration 1,658,325 was issued to

Heinrich Buse and Eugen Kentrop on December 12,

1953. Their design shows a man lying back on his

elbows on a hammer head with a corkscrew protected

by the handle and a cap lifter at the bottom of the

handle.

The hammer corkscrew pictured here is similar in design except the man atop

the hammer head is sitting facing the side with one leg extending over the side

and the other stretched atop the hammer. This example does not have a cap

lifter.
