Here’s a nice little hand auger, marked Todd & Peet, research shows they were London cork merchants 1800s to early 1900s, but very little info other than that. A few documents on eBay relating to orders and receipts but that’s it.
Am assuming was used to test cork quality.
Sharing this tactile item with forum for interest, too nice to abuse with heavy use.
Are there any wine trade experts who know more?
