Can anyone lend some insight into how this was made? It doesn’t look mass-produced because of the uneven shaping, particularly on the base of the handle.

Looks cast
Casting, liquid metal poured into a mold made of something like sand, plaster, or silicone. Very simple.
Any idea how old it might be?
I’m old but also uninformed and stupid.
Old now-defunt beer companies made tons of bottle openers like those in the 60s

How long have you been on planet Earth.

Simple cheap sand casting. Non-ferrous marking suggests some specialty use.
Church key. Wouldn't want a spark to start a fire when drinking on the job.
Where I come from these are called church keys. That would just be a bottle opener.
it's called a churchkey because it looks like an old church key. that there is just a can opener.
Looks like a cast part, out of zamak or similar shit.
Search for the growing stack on YouTube, watch a few videos. The guy just casts a ton of silly decorative things, but it will give you a good idea of how simple the process is.
>It doesn’t look mass-produced because of the uneven shaping,
I'm surprised you can tell what food is.
it looks totally mass produced by metal casting then light clean up.
How else would you get such pronounced text without casting? Legit question. Nobody is going to spend their time filing that down or using acid.
You are legit an absolute fricking moron.
Nice buttplug and/or sounding rod, anon.
Why would it have to specify it is non-ferrous?
is this used in a refinery so that workers could open beers with volatile fumes around?
It's so the guy on the MRI bed can open his beer.
Problem: beer bottle lid is steel.

Easier to cast.
Cast iron melts at idk, high temperature.
ZAMAK melts at 400C or so. Plus allows higher details to be cast because i think it is more liquid, dunno
