When looking for a 1850's German corkscrew you definitely should pay a visit to the Old Corkscrew:

Last time I was there I found a very interesting 1850's German corkscrew. It was a German made folding called the 'Gay Nineties' picnic corkscrew and the price tag was approximately $1,230. This cork screw was made in the shape of a lady with blue and white stocking legs and it had a "Registered Germany" on one side. As far as I could see, the worm was in good condition.
