    19th c we think. Bladed worm (German?) Measures 4-1/3” x 3-1/2” Don’t think horn is real unless it’s been coated in something

    A.H.W....a particular person or just someone who made this? Any info is appreciated! TIA

    Looks to be a simple booze opener to me, corkscrew for bottles with corks and punch for beer cans..

    Looks handmade, no idea how to tell the age?

    I think earlier 20th C from the sans serif font used to stamp the initials. 1920 maybe?

    It's quite possible too that the screw was a "standard" component, so the handle may be someone else entirely. Like knife blades.
