Crocodile - Pharmacy corkscrew in cast iron
XIXth century
Antique pharmacy corkscrew in the shape of a crocodile.
Cast iron - The crocodile's teeth and eyes have been painted white. Beautiful patina.
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: 29cm
It weighs 3.1Kg !
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...
