    I found this in the latest release of the Beer Advocate magazine. I collect all sorts of wine corkscrews and have begun checking out beer openers.
    This one really intrigued me.
    Its from Westmark a Flaschenoffner / verschileBer/Hermnetuse Bottle Opener and Sealer.. Made in Germany and only they could have thought this one out.

    Just received my 5 of these, brought them into work. Easy to open any bottle of beer, it was easy to seal it. The seal was tight, upside, sidewarys, no leakage and the carbonation staid

    This is what it looks like (and for $7, its great!)

    I put the original cap back on and bang on it with the regular bottle opener I have. Beer still has carb the next day.

    New? :rolling_eyes:

    They date back to the pre-Prohibition era.
    (There are versions that have a patent date of 1904. The "crown cork" cap itself only dates from the 1890's),

    I ordered them from KAUFMANN MERCANTILE IN
    At that time I placed the order, they were out of stock. But two weeks ago, I received 6 of them.
    Love them
