Here are some of my figural paperweights.

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 paperweight has a cute little pig standing on an oval shaped base. It is marked with a bee on a flower symbol and numbered 1149. The symbol stands for the Benedict Mfg Co or syracues NY. Accordong to the hallmark, it dates to teh 1880s.




This paperweight has an American eagle perched on a rock on a detailed decorative base. It is marked Reed & Barton. The silverplate has a slight bronze like finish to it, which might just be tarnish.



This might be more of a scuptural/figural centrepiece/statue or a paperweight.
It has two hunting dogs, maybe one is a bloodhound. It is marked Wilcox Silverplate Co. 2205



This lopvely statue or paperweight has a greyhound or whippet standing on a rocky base.
Marked Wilcox Silverplate Co 2204, so preceeds the one above.
In excellent condition with great patina, although a little bit of the tail at the end may be missing.



This is absolutely fabulous. It has a large hunting dog with a bird in its mouth.
Marked Pairpoint Mfg Co. 31. It is about 5 inches high and very heavy.
You can see a large figural napkin ring along side it, showung you how big it is.




This is a marvelous figural depicting a bull tied to a post by its horns. It is marked Rogers Silverplate (? hard to read) Co. New Haven, Conn. This figure actually appears as a sketch on page 82 of Victor Schnadig's book "American Victorian Figural Napkin Rings"




Two bulldogs or pug dods running alongside each other. I am not sure what this was, as there is no sign that a napkin ring or toothpick hodler was attached. Unmarked with a great dark patina. the dogs legs are bent out of shae. It may well be a paperweight or a just a sculpture.
