An ingenious little brass travel tool containing a complete set of five interchangeable bits: corkscrew, awl, file, screwdriver, and auger. The cylindrical handle transforms into a grip when unscrewed, allowing the use of the corkscrew or another bit of your choice. Compact and robust, this accessory was designed to accompany travelers and soldiers at the turn of the 20th century. The brass and steel retain a beautiful patina and are well preserved.
