Here are some photographs of my sterling silver figural napkin rings and toothpick holders:

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.
