A collection of more than 400 corkscrews assembled over 40 years by an “old-school connoisseur” is to be auctioned at Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes.
Andrew Aldridge said: “We have researched other collections and sales but we can’t find anything on the same wavelength as this. Some items have not been seen in public since the 1970s and the entire collection is valued in six figures.”
