Here are some photographs of my figural napkin rings with a marine theme, including turtles, frogs, dolphins, etc.

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.

A lovely napkin ring with the ring resting on the back of a dolphin, marked Aurora 32


This is a lovely Victorian figural napkin ring with a frog. It excellent condition. Unmarked as to maker.



This figural napkin ring is very similar to the one above (same frog) but the ring sits more behind the frog. I have observed both of these figural napkin rings at auctions are they are both genuine and authentic.  


This figural napkin ring has two oars (beautifully decorated on both sides) together with an intertwined vine with leaves holding up the napkin holder. It is unmarked as to maker and number, probably because it was too hard to find a place to mark it. This is the only figural napkin ring I have seen like this. It does not appear in any of the books or auctions but is genuine. It has a nice light patina.
