Re: STARR Coca Cola wall mount bottle opener

I'll bet that opener could tell tales if it could talk. I recall seeing these everywhere as a kid in the late 1950's to eary 60's in old gas stations and general stores that had probably been there since the 1930's. The Starr opener currently sells for less than $15.00 at auction.
