Description: |
Similar to the Maschil Converse 1899 patent prongs, Patent No. 624,457 granted to Converse just 2 weeks earlier. However instead of a wooden handle, the extant features a caplifter and is marked "PATENT APPLIED FOR" on the prongs. While no prongs are shown in the patent drawing, given the same sheath, and similar prongs to the more common version of the Converse, it would seem that the extant indeed is a Converse cork extractor, albeit an unusual variant under a combination of 1899 patents; 624,457 and 625,491. |
