      Tools for cutting cork.

      slackjack is 100% correct. I worked in a chemistry lab where we had a set of these for boring holes in cork stoppers to enable insertion of different size tubing.

      That's one way to get a straw in a wine bottle.

      Thank you for the info. My late father-in-law would probably have used one since he was a chemist for GE from the 1960's to the 80's. Definitely a keeper our wall of cool tools we have found on this old property.
