    I know it is branded and without any markings, but what else could it be?

    You could be correct but not shaped right for a Coke bottle.
    It's likely CC would've been on the maker for that if shaped that way and heavily marketed.

    Wine opening combination tool - blade for slicing the foil that covers the cork and corkscrew for pulling it out. Handy item for a picnic basket. The shape is more "wine bottle" than Coke bottle.

    The blade can also be used for fruit or cheese.

    Well I think it looks more like a generic soft drink bottle than a wine bottle, probably made before the word "generic" was commonplace.

    Just to make online searching more interesting, the term "coke bottle knife" refers to a common knife pattern having a swelled-center, but only vaguely shaped like an actual coke bottle. The pattern has been standardized by Case and many others, and this isn't a "coke bottle knife" in that sense of the term.

    Sorry, just adding/clarifying your earlier post. I knew what you meant, wasn't sure everyone would....

    I have tried to search, both by terms(with and without coke refferal) and by image, but I havent seen similar bottle. B., everything you wrote stands true, but the shade of colour red on the body of the knife and combination with black imitating most popular soft drink, makes me think Coca Cola.

    Coke bottles were not red, Mak, they were pale green. And Coke is brown, not black. The material (plastic?) looks like some kind of "tortoise shell" imitation.

    I concur.
    It was lead glass right Bakers?
    Weren't there odd ball yellowish ones at first?

    I have no idea what kind of glass was used. I'm pretty sure I have never seen a yellowish one, but that doesn't mean they weren't made.

    I believe lead is what makes glass green.

    Actually it's iron that imparts the aqua to Coke bottles.
    This is the natural color of glass made from good ingredients.
    Lead will make glass clear...as in lead crystal.

    Selinium was used to make cheap glass clear from about WW I on. Like glass cleared with manganese turns purple/amethyst, glass cleared with selinium will turn a straw yellow to light amber with exposure to light. Certain methods increase this effect. The only yellow/brown hobble skirt Coke bottles I've ever seen were originally clear then treated in some way, probably UV.

    This has nothing to do with Coke.....and everything to do with wine.

    Coke trademarked the shape of their Female Figure bottle , and they don't produce anything that doesn't say Coca Cola on it !

    Hehe, have to chuckle at the thought of trying to open a wine bottle with that tiny thing - the worm appears to be 3/4 of an inch long at most...

    It's just a novelty item, a miniature bottle, and generic, as already suggested - a tiny corkscrew like that could be used for medicine, ink or other small bottles.
