IMPORTANT
INFO ABOUT THIS AUCTION
This item is in an "eBay Live Auction". This means that
each item: 1) will not close at a specific time like an
ebay.com auction, 2) will be opened in order in a format
like a real auction house floor, 3) bids can be placed
real-time during the auction. Please note, bidders may place bids
before the auction (aka absentee bids). Absentee bids may be placed
up to 1 hour prior to the start of the auction. This is the recommended
method of bidding since many people on "auction day"
either forget to participate in the auction or have other plans.
Once the auction has started only live bids are accepted.
Note: The "Auction date and time" displayed by ebay
is the START date and time of the auction. This has nothing to
do with individual items. We run approx. 150 items per hour so
you can estimate from that when your item may be displayed. Also,
for Mac users, there are known issues with the Live Auction bidding
console and the Safari browser. Please use a different browser
if you wish to participate in the Live Auction.
You
must register for each individual auction before you can bid whether
you have participated before or not. To ensure that your registration
has been completed, you should register at least an hour before
the auction starts. If you register during the auction, it
may take up to an hour before you are confirmed.
For
Payment information, please see the "Payment"
section below.
*** ALL ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION HAVE RESERVES *** The auctioneer
will act to protect the reserve by placing an "Auction Floor
Bid". These bids will be displayed during the auction and
in eBay's Bid History after the auction as an "Auction Floor
Bid".
Item
Description
VERY RARE
Vintage Napier Swan Hors d'oeuvre Pick Holder. The head is a nice cherry red bakelite ball with two little holes for eyes that also can be used to hold a pick on either side. The body is silver plate.
This is one of those, rare, very hard to come by items from the 1930's or 1940's.
On the bottom you can see in the picture that there is a patent #.
There measurements are 6 ¼” tall and 3” wide
The condition is very good. There are few signs of wear and age around the edges. It looks like some of the plating has worn off. I thought is was merely tarnish but the dark areas did not shine up with normal polishing.
It is a lovely and very collectible piece.
