Description
Recovered pocket corkscrew belonging to Lorraine G. Bay. The corkscrew is slightly rusty and tarnished with two pieces of tape wrapped around the handle. Blue ink on both pieces of tape reads: "EWR." Other markings on the corkscrew in red and black ink are illegible. The circular tag attached to the corkscrew is the FBI inventory tag.
