Salamander - Pharmacy corkscrew in bronze
XIXth century
Antique pharmacy corkscrew in the shape of a salamander
Bronze
From the 19th century or early 20th century.
The corkscrew allowed the pharmacist to compress and soften the corks before inserting them in the bottles containing the remedy.
The corkscrew was often fixed in the apothecary's or pharmacist's shop by screwing it to the counter.
Here what is uncommon is that it is in the form of a salamander but one finds it very often in the form of a crocodile, another name of the corkscrew.
Length: 29.5cm
It weighs 1.8Kg
Before these objects appear, the apothecary or the pharmacist chewed himself the corks to insert them in the bottles... From where the term chewing-cork...
