Production Details
Made in Italy, specifically in the metalworking region around Lumezzane(near Brescia, in northern Italy's Lombardy region). This area has long been a hub for high-quality silver-plated barware and kitchen tools. "Brevettato" simply means "patented" in Italian — it's not a specific brand but a common marking on quality Italian designs from this era.

Produced in the 1950s to 1960s (mid-century period). Similar ornate silver-plated Italian corkscrews with engraved details and this exact style of column/handle are frequently dated to the post-war boom in Italian barware design.

Markings: Detailed engraving "Brevettato" marking align with popular export pieces from that time and “Made in Italy”.
