I have already agreed to trade this item and so, for the time being at least, it is no longer up for a trade - sorry!

Item Code: T1

This fine bottle opener has had a busy working life - "day and night" and with "a lot of sweat" - on the Ionian island of Zakinthos in Greece, where previous owner Spiros Gouskos used it from 2002 to 2004 to open countless bottles whilst working as a bartender in the Dionisos Restaurant in the village of Alykanas, a popular destination for jet-setting sun-seekers.

Of course I can't verify the history of this item as told to me by Spiros, but I have no reason to disbelieve him - I think he's a really decent guy!

Imagine all the good times this bottle opener has witnessed, all the stories...

I offer this item unwashed and unpolished. And I think you will agree this item is versatile: it could be used as a paperweight for example, and would not look out of place in a display cabinet. And of course it still functions beautifully as a bottle opener.

This item was traded on in Trade 2 and so is no longer up for a trade - sorry!
