Antique Brass Dewar's Corkscrew

A spirited relic from the early days of whisky promotion, this antique John Dewar Advertising Corkscrew is a captivating find for collectors and connoisseurs alike. With its handsome brass form and timeworn patina, the corkscrew celebrates not only the enduring craftsmanship of early bar tools but also the storied legacy of John Dewar & Sons—one of Scotland’s most iconic whisky houses.

Founded in 1846, Dewar’s quickly became a household name, known for its smooth blends and confident branding. This rare brass corkscrew, likely produced as a promotional piece in the late 19th or early 20th century, would have been offered at bars and events, quietly reinforcing brand loyalty with every pop of a cork. Bearing the Dewar’s name—engraved into its solid handle—it is both functional and full of character, a tangible example of the advertising ingenuity of its era.

With its beautifully aged brass construction and substantial feel in the hand, the corkscrew remains as practical as it is collectible. The rich patina, soft wear, and engraved lettering only deepen its charm, offering a glimpse into a time when even the humblest of tools carried a sense of occasion. Whether displayed among antique barware or put to work on a special bottle, it’s a piece that brings history to the table—one turn at a time.
