Corkscrew.Com on the Web
- New York Times ...."www.corkscrew.com ... is a fascinating site built by and dedicated to a San Francisco Bay Area couple's 20-year passion for collecting corkscrews..." - Robert Hercz. 1/20/2000.
- Antiques and Art Australia is kind enough to describe Corkscrew.Com this way: "this site is worth a visit to see what a difference presentation can make to the impact of a site, whether or not you collect corkscrews. A true five star offering."
- Boston Museum of Science. When the museum staff requested use of one of our Corkscrew photos for their Website in conjunction with their Leonardo da Vinci exhibit (simple machine section), even we were intrigued!
- Menil Collection Museum. Inaugurated in 1987 in Houston, Texas, to house, conserve, and exhibit the permanent collection of John and Dominique de Menil. We include this link as a tribute to the Unknown Webmaster, who, in 1996, in a burst of Good Taste, included Corkscrew.Com in a Menil list entitled, The Only Other Links That Matter. What flattery! With subsequent web makeovers, and perhaps careful scrutiny by the Powers that Be, alas, that quirky link is no more. However, Unknown Webmaster, we salute you; and we STILL think the Menil is worth a look!
