German term

Ausgußkork

German to English Social Sciences General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Taken from a letter, written in Vienna in 1940:

"Ich wurde sogar mit Geschenken bedacht und bekam einen lustigen Ausgußkork, einen modernen Gemüsehobel und ein reizendes Sachet (Taschentuchbehälter) mit einem rosa Seidentücherl. Ich hätte mich zwar gut ohne all das behelfen können, aber genommen habe ich’s doch."

Is Ausgußkork equivalent to an Ausgußstöpsel (sink stopper/plug) here? That is my inclination, although I can't honestly say I've seen one that's even remotely "lustig" or one made of cork either. "Kork" makes me think of a (wine) bottle stopper...

sink plug...? What a nice gift :-)). Honestly, I am with Norbert's suggestion. Norbert, why don't you go ahead and post it as an answer?

Ausgusskork Pouring cork or pouring spout could be a translation for Ausgusskork. It is used for drinks in bottles, for example wine. The idea behind it is to keep the quality of the wine, even if it is drunk over a longer period of time.
