Some small age wear,
otherwise in Perfect working condition and can be used today.

Following observations made on actual cork extracting tests
and are the part of description:
Despite the good working condition, design itself makes little sense,
and the extractor not really fit for the purpose of extracting corks.
The air pressure it creates just hardly moves the cork itself.
It is more Novelty Collector item then actual cork extractor.

and pump needle 6 centimeters long

Please be aware, the pump has sharp needle point and can be dangerous
if used without extra care.
