Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-211 -- More Projects »

Host Ralph Kovel travels to the Metrolina Expo in Charlotte, N.C., to find valuable antique corkscrews. Many of them date back to the 19th century and are very unusual. Some cost more than $2,000 apiece!

Dog owners will love this wooden pooch. It dates back to the 19th century, has glass eyes and sells for $1,300 because it's so unusual.

This sharp-looking guy is a bottle opener, toothpick holder and a corkscrew. He sells for $248 because it's so unusual.

This French zigzag corkscrew is more than 100 years old, and it's only $195, which seems like a steal compared with the others.

This one is mechanical, has an ivory handle and a crank in the back. It's marked $985 because of the very interesting design.
