A finely cast novelty bottle opener in the form of a French Adrian helmet, crafted in heavy solid brass with a rich green patinated finish. The helmet is detailed with the classic flaming grenade insignia, a symbol of the French infantry, and features the distinctive raised crest across the crown. Both functional and decorative, the underside reveals its clever design as a bottle opener, while the substantial weight allows it to serve equally well as a paperweight or desk ornament. Measures 3.5” W x 3” D x 2” H.
Mid-20th century, likely French, this piece embodies both military history and whimsical craftsmanship. A rare find for collectors of militaria, breweriana, or unique desk accessories.
