A fun and colorful vintage bottle opener in the shape of a flexible fish.
This is a distinct piece of handcrafted folk art (likely from Mexico). The underlying frame is made of brass-tone metal, meticulously covered with hand-cut tiles of genuine Abalone Shell (Mother of Pearl). The scales shimmer in shades of pink, green, and silver.
The best feature is the articulated body—the segments are hinged so the fish "swims" or wiggles in your hand. The mouth of the fish serves as the functional bottle opener.
Condition: Perfect vintage condition. The articulation moves freely. The shell tiles are bright and iridescent. (Note: These are handmade, so slight irregularities in the shell placement are normal).
