[Leica] Wine corks

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

I'm not sure why it costs that much on that site; I certainly didn't 
pay that much when I got it 12 years ago. At that time I visited 
another LUGger and he had one. I thought it looked great and got one. 
It still was rather expensive, even if a fraction of the price on 
that site.

It's solid brass (except for the handle and screw), is about 45cm 
long, works really well and quickly and is made in Switzerland. All 
those things, especially the last, make it expensive.
