kitkat_posh @markcoyle334 I honestly don’t know. I thought it was an interesting tool, but I have never used it. Thanks for looking.

kitkat_posh @markcoyle334 I’m sorry I don’t know more about it. I could only guess.

kitkat_posh @markcoyle334 Found this: Based on what a cork press generally does (it compresses corks to make them easier to insert into bottles), a "Darvocet cork press" might refer to a cork-compressing tool used in pharmaceutical or apothecary settings (i.e., for bottling medicines). In older pharmacies, medicines were often bottled in glass vials sealed with corks; a cork press would compress a cork so it would fit tightly in a bottle's neck.
