Old Brass Apothecary Cork Borer Bert Potter music and one just a small

and one just a small pile of loose hair

Aside from the loss of some toes in very good condition

Singular and special feeling with a substantial presence

In addition to the radiant colors and patterns of their plumes

Old Brass Apothecary Cork Borer Bert Potter music and one just a smallI found this in Pennsylvania earlier this summer such an excellent looking object! It is an brass cork borer, early mid 20th century, made for use by labs and apothecaries to bore holes in cork for plugging bottles and vials. There are 15 numbered borers of progressive sizers, one fitting inside the next, and pulling apart as needed. The borers are graduated every 1 16, the smallest will cut a 1 8 hole and the largest cut a 13 16 hole. 8 3 4" l x 2 3
