Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,
While trying to research information on period can openers I discovered a photo within the book: The Illustrated Directory of Uniforms, Weapons & Equipment of the Civil War (David Miller pg. 478)
The photo shows a pocket knife with a corkscrew attachment, hoof pick and what appears to be a form of can opener (much like that of a cub-scout knife). The caption only reads as "Corkscrew & Pick" then moves on the cover other objects on page.
I currently don't have access to a printer but do hope to inclose photo shortly.
Any further info regarding such an item is greatly welcomed.
Most Respectfully
Peter J. Miller
