One of the highlights of Michael\u2019s collecting years was a February 2020 appearance on the popular show\u00a0Pawn Stars<\/a><\/strong> (YouTube<\/a>)<\/em>. Ric loved a number of corkscrews that Mike brought into the shop and purchased a handful. That was followed by a trip to Mike\u2019s house where Chumlee was impressed by the size of the collection and the variety of corkscrews in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the ideal collection for a winery, museum, casino, restaurant, bar or even a private home.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mike\u2019s friend, Don Bull\u201d is the author of \u201cThe Ultimate Corkscrew Book<\/em>\u201d and a number of other books on corkscrews, wine antiques, and Champagne Collectibles. Mike used the \u201cUltimate\u201d published in 1999 as his collecting Bible. He wanted to have examples of corkscrews from every page in his book (318 pages). He was able to achieve 98% of that goal. In January, 2017, Don came to Las Vegas and photographed all of the corkscrews using the individual pages as backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don returned to Las Vegas again in November, 2017, and the pair set up an exhibit<\/a> (YouTube<\/a>) <\/em>at the J. W. Marriott Hotel & Resort to the delight of a throng of visitors. Last fall part of Mike\u2019s collection was on loan to the Healdsburg, California Wine Library<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few of the corkscrews represented in the collection are Hollweg, Henshall, Thomason, Gorham, Anri, Syroco, Williamson, Walker, Clough, Royal Club, Wier, Zig Zag, Lund, Tyr, Vaughan, Mumford, Converse, Hasselbring, Rotary Eclipse, and the list goes on and on.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mike says \u201cI enjoyed assembling the collection<\/a> (PDF<\/a>) over the past 40 years and it is now time to give it up to someone with more energy.\u201d He suggests it would be an ideal collection for a winery or bar to draw more visitors. He adds, \u201cAnd wouldn\u2019t it be great for a home wine cellar or bar to entertain and awe visitors and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection also includes items such as vineyard knives, corkers, wooden grape harvesting back pack,wine bottle locks,wine decanters, great original newspaper article of a duel in 1882, prints such as Corkscrew Man, and a great grape press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine the huge number of visitors this collection would bring in? And what a great museum this would make \u2013 again, in connection with a winery or as a standalone. And what about your home? A room dedicated to these corkscrews would be a fabulous place to entertain and awe friends and visitors. Serve some fine wine in your cellar or home bar and enjoy corkscrew stories!\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Just think, for a cool $250,000 this impressive collection could all be yours, if you buy it<\/a> on his historic eBay sale<\/a>. Check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
