It measures 8\" long.If you are interested in a little history about Hotel Taft please read below.Please look at the other corkscrews I am listing.

In 1910 the New Haven House, a key location for the social gatherings that hosted every President from Ulysses S. Grant to William Howard Taft, was to be demolished because there were plans to create a modern hotel designed by F. M. Andrews & Company. On January 1, 1912, The Hotel Taft, named after President Taft, held its grand opening.

The new 12-story hotel had 300 guest rooms that ranged from singles to suites and included a grand lobby, dining room, ballroom, reading room, bar, writing room, Ladies’ lounge, barber shop, a Palm Room for dining, and a basement speak-easy.

At the time of its construction, the Taft Hotel was the tallest building in the city and hosted an array of guests from Albert Einstein to Wodrow Wilson and Babe Ruth. Because the hotel was located right next to the Shubert Theater, a space where many shows premiered before heading to Broadway, famous celebrities such as Mary Martin and Marlon Brandow stayed at the hotel during their show runs. The infamous Rogers and Hammerstein even rewrote the hit “Oklahoma” while residing at the Taft. President Tafthimself lived in the building for eight years while he was teaching at Yale Law School.

I will do my best to work with out of Country buyers and will not list any more knives with the \"Global Shipping\" option. If you can\'t offer because I accidentally didn\'t uncheck the \"Global Shipping\", please let me and know. US Postal rates increased a lot this year. If you have good response, or have done business with me in the past I will consider less expensive shipping options, but please keep in mind I have to protect myself on the more expensive items. As always shipping will be combined on multiple purchases.

Thanks for looking, and GOOD LUCK!............

ALL ITEMS TO BE PAID FOR WITHIN 5 DAYS UNLESS PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE........

Please read the description, and ask any questions you may have. I would like this to be a 5 star experience for you..........

US Buyers: I have no control over the prices charged by the USPS. The prices for shipping as well as packing supplies keep going up. I try to keep them as manageable as possible.

International buyers: If you want to pay by another method other than Paypal, I will gladly ship your item any way you want. If you want to pay through Paypal please read the rules carefully that follow......Unfortunately, some international buyers are NOT playing fair. They are making Buyer Protection complaints for items not received - and unless a U.S. seller can PROVE the item was received, we have no recourse and refunds your money, FROM US. Its strange how all of a sudden, people aren\'t getting their stuff. If offer price is under $50.00 we can ship First Class International. If the end offer price is $50.00 or more we MUST ship Express Mail International ONLY through the United States Post Office. We will not ship by any other means for international buyers. Paypal only recognizes Express Mail Shipping because it is the only option that offers tracking which protects both the buyer and seller. Please refrain from offerding if you are unwilling to pay for this form of shipping. This does cost more than First Class Mail and Priority Mail. If you would like a shipping quote - please ask PRIOR to offerding. If we grossly over estimate the shipping we will refund you the difference so that you are paying the exact shipping. There will be no exceptions. Please consider these shipping methods and prices before offerding. We will not negotiate after the sale is over. We also will not falsify U.S. Government Postal Customs forms. This is against the law and subject to penalty. If your country charges you a duty tax, please consider this as a part of your overall price and don\'t ask us to lie for you. If we have done good honest business in the past this will not be necessary.
