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 figural napkin ring is similar to the one able,
but the ring is slightly different, the chick sits sideways to the ring

napkin ring, unmarked
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.
