Most of the American figural napkin rings were madec1860-1899, and I believe a lot of them found there way to Australia inthe gold-rush period in Australia in the 1870/1890\'s.Ihavelisted them nowas they have accumulated over thelast 2 years while I have been engaged in a big supreme courtaction. This is a lovely antique Americansilver/silverplate figural napkin ring. It has a sailor pushing barrel.The barrel does not look like a barrel per se besides in its shape. I haveseen this figural napkin ring where barrel looks like a woodenbarrel with wood grain, and also one where the ring is just plaincircular round. I have not see this particualr ring before so it is quiterare...to very rare. It is not marked as to maker or number as far as I can see. One of the figural napkin rings similar to this one is shown in thebook byGottschalk and Whitson (G&W), in plate 649 on page 263. They valuedit as between $200 and $350 in 1996, 19 years ago. Tht one was made by Meriden Britannia Company. This one is probably also mde by Meriden. It is a rare figural napkin ring, as it is slightly different asdescribed above.
