RARE WHITE STAR LINE, RMS OLYMPIC & TITANIC ERA, C 1911/12 FIRST CL NAPKIN RING:
$699.00
THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE PLAIN WHITE STAR LINE NAPKIN RING.
THIS ONE IS MUCH MOR ORNATE AS IT WAS MADE FOR THE A'LA CARTE RESTAURANT.(THERE WERE ONLY TWO A'LA CARTE RESTAURANTS- ONE ON OLYMPIC AND ONE ON TITANIC)
PROIR TO ME PURCHASING THIS NAPKIN RING ON MAY 5, 2021, THE LAST ONE SOLD WAS IN 1993-- THESE DO NOT COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN.A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE DESIGN AND HISTORY OF THESE NAPKIN RINGS.
WHITE STAR LINE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED NAPKIN RINGS OR SERVETTES, WERE CHOSEN FOR THE RESTAURANT, ALTHOUGH UNMARKED WITH A MANUFACTURERS MARK IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE MANUFACTURED BY GOLDSMITHS AND SILVERSMITHS. THIS MAY EXPLAIN THE SOMEWHAT COMPLIMENTARY BUT DIFFERENT DESIGN FROM THE REST OF THE SERVICE.
IT APPEARS TO SHOW STYLIZED FOAMING WAVES. THERE IS A VERY FAINT ANCHOR ON THE INSIDE OF THE RING WHICH IS THE MANUFACTURERS MARK OF GORHAM SILVER PLATE. WE KNOW THAT THESE WERE USED ON BOARD TITANIC AS ONE SURVIVED AS A LUCKY SOUVENIR IN THE POCKET OF SURVIVOR, A MRS. FLORENCE L. WARE, SOLD IN 1993 BY ONSLOW'S sale HOUSE. THE IMAGES OF THE ONSLOW'S CATALOG SHOW THAT RING AND THE SIMILARITY TO THE ONE BEING OFFERED TODAY. (THE CATALOG IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE BUT IS SHOWN TO PROVIDE PROVINENCE)THIS LISTING IS FOR A GENUINE WHITE STAR LINE NAPKIN RING FIRST CLASS, A'LA CARTE RESTAURANT MARKED WITH #127.
THESE ARE VERY RARE, AND ONLY SURVIVED BECAUSE SOMEONE PROBABLY POCKETED IT AS A SOUVINEER.
IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
I PURCHASED IT AT sale FROM ONE OF THE MOST REPUTABLE DEALERS IN THE TITANIC COMMUNITY. (THE PURSERS LOCKER)
THIS RARE ITEM CRAFTED BY SILVERSMITH'S HAS A ROLLING WAVES PATTERN.
THERE ARE A FEW SCRACHES OVER THE NUMBER.
THIS COULD HAVE COME FROM TITANIC OR OLYMPIC, ACCORDING TO THE EXPERT THAT I PURCHASED THIS NAPKIN RING FROM.
I WILL INCLUDE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS AND PROVINENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL SALE.
THIS IS TRULY A RARE AND ONE OF A KIND ITEM AND IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WE'LL EVER SEE ANOTHER ONE.
THIS WILL BE SHIPPED PRIORITY USPS DOMESTIC WITH TRACKING AND $10.00 WILL BE ADDED TO THE INVOICE FOR INSURANCE.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WILL BE CALCULATED.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!
