Sorry, this item is out of stock.

Apple corers were a pre-requisite for the wealthy of Regency Britain, to be used to remove the core from the health giving apple. This example of a Georgian silver apple corer is ideal for carrying in the pocket as it has a silver handle and corer that can be detached and reversed using the threaded central section and thus protecting the corer from damage. Both component parts carry silver hallmarks for Joseph Willmore. The condition is very good with just a couple of very tiny dings to the hollow faceted handle.
