In 1978 Harvey Finison (1916-1987) presented a 5

‖

bottle opener and a 5

‖

can opener to

the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He designed these in 1977 and they were

produced by his Northampton Cutlery Company. Note the somewhat similar graceful

handle on these as well as on the corkscrew. It is possible that Finison designed the

corkscrew around the same time and Nugent's source may have been off by ten years in

citing the year of manufacture.
