Memorabilia Monday: The Screwpull
In our Herbert Allen business and personal papers, we have the first screwpull wine opener sold. It looks like the inventor, Herbert Allen, bought his own device at Richard's Liquors and Fine Wines in River Oaks. We even have the receipt from 1979.
To learn more about the story of how Rice Trustee and oil and gas executive retiree, Allen, invented the screwpull, the Houston Chronicle has a great store about it.
