Heavy Copper Bottle Opener with Great Form antique sterling I picture ivy streaming downI find this bottle opener really satisfying great form, great weight, and it performs its function perfectly. It appears to be solid copper, which I have not touched; its got a nice warm patina. There is a good amount of scratching to the surface and a little roughness around a few edges as pictured signifiying that this is a tool meant to be used! 5 1 8" long x 2 1 2" wide x 5 8" thick.
