P.S.
Anyone else notice the FONT change on Ebay? It’s really got me buggin! And the Buy It Now buttons are hardly noticeable. ERRRRR!
About time
September 30, 2009Brass Fakes!
September 26, 2009Check out this AUTHENTIC WEB SITE on Austrian Figural Corkscrews: www.hagenauerfakes.com
The information and research this site offers was compiled by Wayne Medows, a reputable Corkscrew Collector, who has a passion for Austrian Figural Corkscrews. I personally FULLY TRUST this information to be accurate.
Thanks Wayne for all your hard work and sharing this information with your fellow Corkscrew Collectors! Cheers Tommy
Waiting, and waiting, and waiting….
September 24, 2009Waiting….
To keep the "corkscrew economy" going, I had listed a few nice pieces. The corkscrew gods clearly noticed my Paypal Account in the RED, so they found me a very aggressive bidder (I like these bidders). Needless to say, "Mr. X" won all three of his desired auctions. I have no doubt Mr. X is good for the funds, but having them transferred into my Paypal account is taking longer than expected. :-[ It’s just courtesy to pay for your auctions in a timely fashion. I’ve got lots to bid on!
And waiting….
I did break the piggy bank 8/13 to score a Brown Mermaid Corkscrew! She appeared to be beautiful in the pictures, so a respectable bid was placed. I know NY is on the opposite end of the country, but suspicions are growing 10 days later. I wonder if Josef has hijacked the package or maybe had it rerouted to his Island on the EC. Pics to be posted if it ever arrives!
and waiting….
Well, not really. Thanks Don! In an effort to make room for MORE CORKSCREWS, Don Bull had a fire sale on some of his publications. Included in the lot were:
Corkscrew Stories vol. 1 by DB
Corkscrew Stories vol. 2 by DB
Cork Ejectors by DB
Corkscrew Patents of Japan by DB
William Rockwell Clough by Ron Maclean and Bob Nugent
I’m not sure if he has any left, but you can check out his "book store" by CLICKING HERE

All is quiet here on the WC. Summer is clearly over as it’s rained a bit each of the last 5 days…. Good thing it doesn’t stop the mail lady! A Lead handle Williamson Double Helix has arrived on the Island. I’m happy to have gotten it for a fair price, but it will probably end up on the black market. Need one? Want one? I’m accepting bids! syrocokid@gmail.com
A ship and brush
September 4, 2009As for new arrivals, a bakelite ship has landed on the Island. Thought to be German, these have been known to do well on ebay. We shall see this weekend! Also, another Syroco Brush as arrived. It’s a painted bulldog. A fine "go-with" to add to the Syroco Collection.
