Last week I was lucky enough to find an obscure auction for a coveted Syroco Full Body Indian Corkscrew. I got him for a pretty good deal and he is a second, so I am open to offers. He is made of composite, not solid wood. He came from upstate New york and was probably made in the 1950s. A great find considering how rare.
So the auction was a soft close, which means every time there is a bid it gets extended for another few minutes. We were on our way to some friends’ house for dinner. We Ubered in anticipation of imbibing in excess. Lucky we did as the auction kept going and just finished as we pulled into their driveway.
