Vintage corkscrew bottle opener Domaine de Nestuby old advertising accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This promotional corkscrew bottle opener is an antique accessory featuring the inscription "DOMAINE DE NESTUBY" on the side, clearly visible on the presented face. It is a multi-functional sommelier-type tool, combining a spiral corkscrew, a bottle opener, and a lever for opening bottles and caps. The item has a two-tone finish: a dark body (likely black or anthracite) contrasted by silvery metallic parts, notably the bottle opener, the worm, and the upper lever.

The design is classic, with an elongated, compact, and ergonomic shape, characteristic of bar and service accessories from past years. The corkscrew's spiral, visible in the photo, is made of shiny metal. The bottle opener, triangular with rounded corners, is attached to the end of the handle. The engraved or printed inscription "DOMAINE DE NESTUBY" suggests a wine-making origin and reinforces the promotional authenticity of the item.

The upper lever area shows a metal rivet, typical of folding mechanisms. No other markings or decorations are visible on the presented face. The edges and the metal's patina suggest antique manufacturing, probably late 20th century, in line with the promotional style and observed finish.

This type of accessory was commonly used in bars, restaurants, and wineries, both for its practicality and to promote a brand or estate. The overall condition, according to the photo, shows some signs of use on the metal, including micro-scratches and slight surface wear, characteristic of an authentic used item.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows visible marks and signs of use on the metal and handle, consistent with an antique promotional accessory. Functions (corkscrew, bottle opener, lever) visible on the displayed face.
