This figural napkin ring is similar to teh one above but has a different ring (napkin holder). It is also marked Meriden B Company 310.

This figural napkin ring has a horse jockey holding a saddle on a very decorated base. It is as if he is doing a weigh-in after the race. It is absolutely stunning even though it is an English and not an American ring. It is marked W.W.H & Co EP. The maker is hence William Wheatcroft Harrison, Montgomery Works, Pepper Alley, Fargate (1857-1883), 230 Rockingam St. (1884-1911), Arundel St., Sheffield (1912-1918). London Wharehouse at 99 Hatton Garden. I believe it was made in the period 1884 to 1911.



This is an English figural napkin ring (they are quite rare as most were American). Maked PT& Co. S Sheffield. I have traced the hallmark to Pryor Tyzack & Co. Sheffield. The company was active at Granville St (Sheffield) from 1860-1861 and at 80 Division St from 1862-1863. In 1863 the firm changed to Beame Pryor & Tyzack. That means that this napkin ring is c1860-1863, which puts it before the first American figural napkin rings which were started arounf 1867, although the precise date is not known. The condition is near mint.

3 x This is a fabulous VERY RARE Victorian figural napkin ring, with a Victorian lady in the appropriate wear on a toboggan/sled.
The ring is marked as having been made by F.B. Rogers Silver Co. and is marked #273. It is c1870-1890.
This napkin ring is shown in the book "Figural Napkin Rings: Collector's Identification and Value Guide", by Gottschalk and Whitson (G&W), on page 294, plate 729....see photo.
It is very rare....all sports napkin rings are very rare, sought-after, and always command a premium price.
F. B. Rogers Silver Co. was a silversmithing company founded in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts in 1883.
It was acquired by Edmund W. Porter and L.B. West, who incorporated the company and moved manufacturing operations to Taunton, Massachusetts in 1886.
For several years, the company became known as West Silver Company, and was producing silver products for the William Rogers Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut.
I actually have 4 of this example. The fourth is under people/females.




just a lovely traiangular shaped napkin ring with ball feet and a highly decorated edging with a maple leaf "The Forever" inscribed on it. Makes me think this ring has something to do with Canada and some war of sorts. There is a very similar ring like this pictured in Gottschalk and Whitson's book on page 246, but with beaded edging and crossed swords. In the book it says that this ring was produced by the Meriden branch in Canada as a souvenir of Canada. I guess the same applies to this ring. This ring is stamped C. Weeton Mfg Co., Warranted and EPBM, electro-plated britania metal, which what the napkin rings of the late 19th century were made of. This napkin ring here is in near mint/mint condition, just a tiny bit of tarnish, well kept.


This is the other napkin ring i was talking about above. It is the one pictuerd in G&W. It is marked Meriden B Company 642.

Second ring is marked as made by Meriden B Company and has the number 642.
It is shown in the book by Gottschalk and Whitson, in plate 601 on page 246. They valued it at $200.




This miltary figural napkin ring is in the MALE FIGURES category. Has early 17th century soldier (because of the soft hat),
