Could you add clear photos of the corkscrew from all sides, including the handle, mechanism, and any maker’s marks or patent dates? Those details would help assess the Will & Finck attribution and whether an 1800s date is plausible.

Everyone, remember the rules; Posts/comments must be relevant to r/Antiques. Anyone making jokes about how someone has used the word date/dating will be banned. Dating an antique means finding the date of manufacture. OP is looking for serious responses, not dating jokes like this: www.reddit.com/r/Antiques/s/eR5ZmTx2rU Please ignore this message if everything is on topic.
