Thank you very much Jaap, this type of bottle opener is also sometimes called a church key!!

Eine wunderbare Geschichte zeigst du diesen schönen Bild mit dieser Darstellung lieber James :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Many thanks for the comment Güni glad you liked the pic and the story, best wishes for a good evening

An interesting shot James..........of this iconic shaped bottle opener, once an essential implement for anyone who liked bottled beer, before the invention of screw caps!

I enjoyed reading the history in the link............it seems to me that Ralph Fremlin was an early marketing genius and the very idea of "Temperance Ale" amuses me ;-))).

Thanks for sharing..!!

Yes Temperance Ale also amused me as did the idea of a man who didn't like pubs taking over a brewery!
Glad you enjoyed the link and thanks for reading.
Talking of reading have you ever read 11/22/63 by Stephen King? I think it might interest you.

Thanks for the comment

diese Art des Flaschöffner habe ich heute noch - gleichzeitig ist auf der Unterseite ein Gumme und ich kann die flsche wieder verschliessen

Thanks aNNa, this type of bottler opener was also sometimes called a church key!!

Thanks for the book suggestion.......I'll keep an eye out for it in the charity shops I visit. ;-)
