Description
Used to mold corks to fit in medicinal bottles, this is a 19th Century Figural Apothecary druggist cork press. A rare press in original condition, it is cast iron and quite heavy. A Figural alligator or crocodile. Traces of original green paint, this cork press was well used. From an English estate, it can press 4 different sizes of medicinal corks. I suppose it could press a decent wine cork as well. 11” by 4.5” by 4”. Smooth from a hundred years of corking. See photographs.Please email any questions prior to bidding.
