Booze fanciers struck a satirical blow in 1930 with this bottle opener shaped like a grumpy prohibitionist with a corkscrew up his ass: “THE inventor of the combination bottle opener and cork screw, ‘Old Snifty,’ shown in the photo at the left, must have had a strong sense of humor, for he puts the image of the advocates of prohibition to work at setting the much-hated joy-water to flowing. The nutcracker chin and nose form the bottle opener, while the cork puller projects from the rear. The whole device is made of metal.”
