    Description

    This auction is for an antique, cast iron cork press from an old pharmacy, drug store that was located in Mabel, Minnesota. Mabel Minnesota is located in southeastern Minnesota, close to the Iowa border. The cork press measures 9" long. It has an ornate designed handle. It was used to press corks, making them small enough to be inserted into a bottle. There is an old crack in the top part of the cork press that has an equally old cast iron repair, resulting in a sturdy tool. In addition to the old repair, there is slight surface rust.
