Cool 1930s Turtle-Shaped Bottle Opener for Grove Grocery, Portsmouth, New Hampshire

This is a cool turtle-shaped bottle opener from the 1930s advertising Grove Grocery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Grove Grocery was a luncheonette on Sagamore Avenue that also sold sundries including beer and ale. The turtle is craning his neck out to give optimum leverage for prying off bottle caps with his open mouth.

Circa 1930s.

Approximately 2-7/16" in height and 2-1/2" in width.

Plated brass with painted lettering.

Hole.

PAT'D (date?) B&B U.S.A.

This is from a Portsmouth, New Hampshire collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEX10 LBIX2/11 SBIX12/11

7+ (Very Fine+): The bottle opener has some small spots of discoloration and light to medium wear overall.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
