Cast iron - 19th century
The cork crusher was invented around 1830 and was used throughout the 19th century until the early 20th century. It allowed pharmacists to compress and soften corks before inserting them into bottles containing medicine.
Cork crushers are often found in zoomorphic forms, particularly in the shape of a crocodile, which is also the other name for a cork crusher.

Before these objects appeared, apothecaries or pharmacists chewed the corks themselves to insert them into bottles... Hence the term ‘cork chewer’in french...
