Pair of Bailey & Co. Coin Silver Napkin Ring Holders Circa 1850s
Pair of Bailey & Co. coin silver napkin ring holders from circa 1850s or 1860s, with fine diapering. They are octagonal, measure 1 3/4'' in diameter by 1 1/8'' in height, and bear hallmarks as shown. Bailey & Kitchen, as it was originally known, was founded in Philadelphia in 1832, by Joseph Trowbridge Bailey (1806-1854) and Andrew B. Kitchen (died 1850). The partnership was dissolved in November 1846. It was reformed with new partners as Bailey & Co. in 1841, and on March 1, 1878, again re-established as Bailey Banks & Biddle. After 1870, they resold silver from a variety of manufacturers. At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States; its design today remains the official version of the seal.
