Excellent!

Cigar boxes on the top shelf?

What is the handle mounted towards the right hand side of the bar - maybe some kind of cork extractor?

Well spotted. I hadn't noticed it and don't know the answer, but your guess sounds like a good one.

Cork screw - lever, screw, pull, enjoy.

Used the own down at the Queens Head more than once.

Such craftsmanship.  Wonderful.  Only went inside a couple of times though even though it was at end of our road (Harringay Road).   So our real local !    Made many more visits to the "offsales" though as a kid if Mum had a bit of spare change for a Saturday night treat.  That was luxury and height of happiness.
