Corkscrews and bottle opener?
I'm guessing Chris likes his wine from a box, and only owned a can opener with a motor.

We're on the receiving end of a chain-pulling session.
I'm still laughing about some of the cutting-edge Bond greebles that look so dated today.
Cell phones the size of a lunchpail come to mind.
So do lunchpails, for that matter.
Hey, hey! I carried a lunchpail for most of my career, including 22 years as a manager in Human Resources. I preferred the metal kind, although I had to find them at garage sales. Not obsolete at all; they protect the food a lot better than a paper bag, AND they don't use up trees!
Classics are never dated. Geez. It's like saying a Stanley plane is dated.
Two gimlets and a bottle opener?

Two corkscrews and a bottle opener.
Great tools for use AFTER woodworking!

I bought my last lunchpail at Restoration Hardware in 1996. Still have it and it is used for a place to keep tools in the house.
The OP's items do look to be a couple of corkscrews and a cap lifter. The all metal corkscrew is the only item that looks to have some value to a collector. Not sure about the cap lifter, my brother sells them all the time on that auction site.

Depends on your religious persuasion.
As a Charter member of the Church of Bob (scientist), we naturally cut people slack.
Anybody remember the folder issued with dogtags to open cans?
Those were great, until the rust set in.
I had a buddy, kept his lubed with whatever oil came outen der can.
He was easy to find, in a crowd, after dark, when the tents warmed up from the inside...
They came in boxes of "C" rations and we called them P38's.

Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

The P38s were nice, except when that pointy thing started to dig into the chest hairs. Knew a time when i nad about a dozen of them.
Corkscrews? or, Gimlets? Bottle opener, or a tool to bevel an edge with?
This one has been on my key ring since the late 1960s.They came in boxes of "C" rations and we called them P38's.
Somewhere around here there is a larger one. Can't recall if they were called P42s or P45s.

Wow Jim, I hope you don't put your keys in your pocket, or you might open a can of something, well, you do not want to open!?
My P38 dates from 1961. The parkerized finish has worn off from 50-odd years in my pocket attached to my fingernail clippers. When TSA decided to confiscate nailclippers as "dangerous items", the P38 was retired to my cufflinks box.
I quit carrying my P38 years ago, but keep it in with the hiking/camping stuff. Some day, the kids will be old enough that camping will be fun, and I can let my boy spend an hour trying to open a can with it.

Not all chemicals are bad. Without hydrogen or oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
