Here are some photographs of the chick, hen and wishbone napkin rings that I have.

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.

This is one of the more ornate/detailed figural napkin rings with a chick theme. It is marked Tufts 1618.


It is common to see a bird perched up like this on a napkin holder with a base, but not a chick. This piece looks to have been resilvered and is in excellent display condition. The base seems to have leaves and strawberries, and the figural napkin ring is marked Stix & D'Allemand, New York, Quadruple Plate. I cannot see a pattern number on it, but taht may be because Stix & D'Allemand didn't make many figural napkin rings.
