A great international corkscrew collectors' club!

For collectors of corkscrews this is a most beneficial and enjoyable organization, open to anyone interested, for an annual membership fee of $48. The CCCC publishes four news bulletins a year, appropriately called "The Quarterly Worme", which is edited by Flory Bosa & Sal Robinson of Vancouver, British Columbia. Very useful as well as interesting, the "QW" includes membership lists, specialty articles on corkscrews, reproductions of early corkscrew & hardware catalogs, announcements of important upcoming events, letters from the membership and more. The most current published and available books about corkscrews are always announced in the pages of the "QW".

Although the origins of the CCCC were in Canada, the membership quickly expanded to include collectors from many points of the globe--the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many European countries. The membership now consists of over 200 collectors.

If you have an interest in joining, send your name, address, phone number (home & business), fax number (home & business) and email address. Include a check for $48 made out to the 'Canadian Corkscrew Collectors Club', and send all to:

Milt Becker, CCCC Membership Chairman
One Madison Street, 5b
East Rutherford, NJ 07073

Want to document your corkscrew collection and search for almost any known form of corkscrew?

Introducing: SCReWbase v6

SCReWbase 4.5 is now available, and includes 600 more pieces than SCReWbase 3, bringing the total to 6100+!
In addition, SCReWbase includes title and record translation in French, German and Spanish.

SCReWbase is a database designed to hold details of all known significant corkscrews, their variations and
associated collectibles. Every item has a picture, a simple descriptive title and more details if necessary. The
records also show patent and registration details, book references and manufacturers where known. SCReW is
fully searchable, either specifically for words or by browsing. It is a reference work for everyone - from novice to
expert. SCReWbase comes loaded with over 6100 records and images.

SCReWbase can be used alongside the personal Corkscrew Collector CCv6 program which allows you to transfer
records easily and build up a database of your own collection. However SCReW can be used as a stand-alone
reference work or with any other collection record.

CORKSCREW COLLECTOR is a user friendly personal database designed by corkscrew collectors for corkscrew
collectors. You can work with specific fields for everything that has to do with corkscrews - pictures, patents,
personal information, type of worm, markings, grading, price, cost, source, etc. Corkscrew Collector uses the
SCReW classification system, making it super easy to import your pictures and information directly from SCReW.
Numerous reports and searches can be used to create records for insurance purposes, monitor buying and
selling, track auction values and much more. CCv6 comes loaded with 170+ summary records from SCReWbase
to help you classify your own collection.
