Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 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 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 That looks like something out of an alternative steampunk nightmare. That thing is cool! It looks like walrus tusk.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 I’m thinking probably warthog after looking at some pics. Not the flying kind.

I don’t even drink wine but I would have that displayed somewhere for all to see.

Might have graced the bar at the Officer’s Mess in the Zulu war.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Make sure they throw it in your casket. That way in 1,000 years they will think you were Viking royalty.
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 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.)
