Giant Self-Extracting Corkscrew.

The cut herewith given represents this article, which is one of the

extend line put on the market by James D. Frary, Meriden, Conn. It

is entirely of metal and finished full nickel-plated or bronzed with

nickel-plated screw or trimmings. The screw is described as made of

best cast-steel, hardened and tempered. The operation of the spring

means of it the hardest cork can be extracted without pulling. The

made in two styles of finish, one of which is full nickel-

plate and the other bronzed, with nickel plated screw and

trimmings.

The quality of the steel in both of these

corkscrews and the fact that it is hardened and tempered

is alluded to, as

combinations that are secured.
