Welcome!

Remember: Corkscrew collecting is not a life and death matter - it is more than that!

This Web site is designed to give the corkscrew collector a place to find whatever information s/he needs in pursuing this twisted hobby.  If you are visiting for the first time, CLICK HERE

Corkscrew collectors are called Helixophiles but in reality, they are just addicted to collecting these practical but "beautiful" devices.  It is not hard to get caught up in the "hunt" for rare, beautiful, different, simple, silver, advertising, etc. corkscrews.  The problem is that most collectors begin on their own and generally believe that they are the only people in the game.  Knowledge about corkscrews is hard to come by, what is valuable, what price to pay, what condition is acceptable, etc. just some of the questions answered here.

You are welcome to browse, let us know what you think about the site and add something if you are so inclined.  Sign the Guest Book, register yourself.  Have fun!

A serious collecting drive is not lethal, but it is addictive and very enjoyable!   If you are not yet a member of one of the several corkscrew organizations, join now!

 

	The NEW release of both Corkscrew Software systems are now available - What you see here is the CD that has the "Bundle" on it which includes both SCReWBase6 ("SB6") - the comprehensive catalog of almost 7,000 corkscrews and the Corkscrew Collector 6 ("CC6") program that is used by collectors to catalogue their own collections.  The separate programs are closely connected and, in fact, the CC does not really work without the SB program having been installed first.  Once you see what they can do, you will understand how this synergy works.
	SCReWBase 6.0 is the fruits of 10 years of work by some of the most avid and knowledgeable corkscrew collectors in the world.  You can order this edition of the SB6 catalogue of corkscrews now, there are almost 7,000 corkscrews in this monumental work, complete with pictures, descriptions, expert notes, references and much more.  The database is searchable and is based on a classification system that encompasses all classes, types and styles.  Just click on the screen shot on the left to get more information.  To order the CD, click here to be transferred to the website where you can buy it.
	Corkscrew Collector 6.0 is a program that was written as a companion to SCReWbase and is the software used by corkscrew collectors to keep track of their collections.  The work is the result of years of consultation with knowledgeable collectors who have large and diverse collections, so it should fit anyone's needs.  Perfectly co-ordinated with SB6, it is a dream to use!  Just click on the screen shot on the left to get more information. To order the CD together with SB6 as a Bundle just click here to be transferred to the website where you can buy it.

New Corkscrew Books

A wonderful new book on British Registered Design corkscrews by the experts on the subject Frank and Barbara Ellis

Hungarian corkscrews are not the best known in the World.  But this booklet by Joe Paradi shows some interesting finds there too.

Gerard Bidault had done it again!  A great book on French corkscrews - written in French


An excellent effort by Ferd Peters and Bert Giulian - a must have!
