A 1970s brass dolphin bottle opener and memo clip, made in Taiwan — a figural nautical multi-tasker with the warm patina only old brass develops over decades.
Material: Brass
Functions: Bottle opener + memo / order clip holder
Design: Figural dolphin
Origin: Taiwan
Era: 1970s (estimated)
Patina: Natural aged patina — not polished; will shine with cleaning if preferred

A fun and functional gift for the nautical enthusiast, the bar cart stylist, the beach house decorator, or anyone who needs a bottle opener with personality.
This vintage brass dolphin serves as a bottle opener, a memo or order clip, and a decorative piece all at once — the kind of multi-tasking bar or desk accessory that the 1970s did particularly well. The dolphin form is beautifully detailed, with wonderful aged patina that only old brass develops over decades. We left it uncleaned — most people prefer the warmth of natural patina — but it would shine up nicely with a good polish if that's your preference.
