24.00 USD

This set of vintage bar tools includes novelty wooden clown bottle opener and clown corkscrew, a classic wood-handled corkscrew, and a circa 1930s Nuway juice extractor.

The vintage barware accessories grouping would make a fun man cave or retro bar decor accent.

The bar accessories show wear from use and age. The corkscrews and the bottle opener are functional, but I'm not sure if the juice extractor is complete or how it works. Its rubber gasket is quite worn, and the piece is being sold strictly for display.

The wooden clown barware accessories are marked "Japan."
