Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) For no particular reason, a pic of this awesome antique corkscrew my wife gave me years ago. Some sort of tooth I recokon. Whale maybe. Saver tooth tiger? I seldom use it though. I might hurt myself. The huge size make me think possibly warthog?

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 That looks like something out of an alternative steampunk nightmare. That thing is cool! It looks like walrus tusk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I’m thinking probably warthog after looking at some pics. Not the flying kind. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like walrus tusk. I think the curvature seems wrong. Plus there are worn notches which I’ve seen with boar tusks where the top tusk rub against the bottoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even drink wine but I would have that displayed somewhere for all to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have graced the bar at the Officer’s Mess in the Zulu war. Edited March 13 by Utah Bob #35998 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Make sure they throw it in your casket. That way in 1,000 years they will think you were Viking royalty. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 VERY cool indeed! (But whatever it's source, don't bring it to california. It'd be confiscated, venerated, incinerated, and you'd be charged, fined, jailed, pilloried, keelhauled and possibly tarred and feathered.) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
