Here are some photographs of my cat figural
napkin rings.
This is a private collection display of figural
napkin
rings and toothpick holders, and some other figurals (such as card
trays, and knife rests).
Most of these items were made in the USA from about 1860 to 1900. Some
are available FOR
SALE/or SWAP.
As a collector I am not really interested in selling any figural napkin
rings or toothpick holders that I only have one of (You can still ask
though).
I am prepared to sell or swap any items I have more than one of. Swaps
will be on the basis of comparable value.
ALL PRICES ON APPLICATION. You can contact me via the link below.
As a collector I am always interested in buying anything I do not
already have.
