and it took me quite a while to determine its origin

Heavy Copper Bottle Opener with Great Form custom Lucky Strikes box Published by MoMA in 1958I find this bottle opener really satisfying great form, great weight, and it performs its function perfectly. It appears to be solid copper, which I have not touched; its got a nice warm patina. There is a good amount of scratching to the surface and a little roughness around a few edges as pictured signifiying that this is a tool meant to be used! 5 1 8" long x 2 1 2" wide x 5 8" thick.
