A man stands in front of an elevated napkin ring (on grapes and leaves) with his hand in the air. I canot find any information about this ring so it must be very rare. I have a feeling it is related somehoe to American independence, and it is possible that the man may have held something in his hand (possibly a flag, I am guessing). Alternatively the hand may be open so that it holds a toothpick. An amazing piece.

This figural napkin ring has the same knight as in the ring above. I cannot see a maker's mark or number. It has some numbers scartched on the bottom which is indicative of it having been replated some time ago. I suspect it had a coin on the botton centre and I am pretty sure itw as made by knickerbocker Silver Co. as they ahve made all the other knight rings, and they do sometimes use a cion logo/stamp. I take all of that back, as it is shown in G&W page 140, plate 340, and they say maker and number not marked, but I still think it was made bu knickerbocker Silver Co. as they made the one above and one with same number and base but with a different ring, shown in G&W page 140, plate 339.


These 2 figural napkin rings were made as a pair, and depict a boy and a girl (or young lady and young man) dancing. They both have their hands on their hips has a if they are doing something like a square dance. The girl ring is unmarked (except for a W) but is located in G&W to have been made by Barbour Silver Co. # 2903 (see G&W page 284). The boy ring is also unmarked but located to ahve been made by Barbour Silver Co. # 2904. These 2 figural napkin rings came from the same estate and I would imagine they belonged to a married couple, and that they may have been given to them as a wedding present. That was quite a common thing to do in the late 1800s.


This figual napkin ring has too small jesters on either side. the ring is out of round. Not marked as to maker or number.


This is a boy and girl ring but I have put it in this category. It is a figural napkin ring with jack and Jill about to climb a hill. Both figures are Kate Greenaway types. Jack should be holding a bucket (missing) but this is a very very rare figural napkin ring. Marked Tufts 1667.
