Hello, sorry for your loss.
Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here, you're in the right place
My photos are usually too large as well, I open them in paint and resize them, down to about 50 (both horizontal and vertical), hope that helps.
That is a FANTASTIC corkscrew.
I imagine I would have been a terrible player in the 30s-50s, none of mine would go in the ring
And just out of curiosity, were you that red headed kid with freckles ?
And I agree about the orange Spirals being harder to find. I just saw one on eBay where the clear base glass lit up under a black light. Can't wait to get home and try this one.
I really like the base on the yellow. It's a moss agate/moonie type base with just a touch of blue in it, giving it an almost smokey look. I have an Orange one like it at the house, I'm going to try a comparison photo later.
If someone knows a specific name for that base, I'd love to know it
