A stunning Art Deco sterling silver bottle opener by John Hasselbring. Extremely in in weight, this opener has a solid feel to it. It features a sterling silver finial and the section just above the opener is also sterling silver. The opener portion is chrome plated. Circa 1920s. This opener has a magical feel it it. Truly a lovely piece.
Hallmarks: "Sterling" and "<JH>" and "40" can be found on the lower section "neck" (just above the opener) and "Sterling" is also on the top finial.
Measurements: Approx. 8 1/4" in length
Condition: Good vintage condition but with noticeable signs of age. For a piece that's 100 years old, this opener is in good condition. Here's a full summary:
1) The chrome opener is in in good shape overall but does show signs of age and wear.
2) The handle is in very good shape.
3) There's a ton of patina and age on the top round sterling finial (that may or may not polish away....patina this old can be stubborn)
4) The sterling section at the bottom of the opener (just above the chrome portion) shows quite a bit of age as well.
In short, this piece is in good vintage condition overall but does show noticeable signs of age. Truly a lovely Art Deco piece. Cheers.
