Jacques Copel was toying with the corkscrew to decide how
to put a label on it. After the war, he burned his
“
Copex
”
mark into the
corkscrews.
Early boxes showed the exporter
“
Copex Corkscrew Company
”
in Beaune,
France with U. S. Offices at 182 W. Washington St., Chicago. Roger Copel,
Jacques
‟
son, believes this was a warehouse for Max Zimmerman who did the
import clearing for Jacques.
