Sterling and Horn Napkin Ring

This is one of two English sterling and horn napkin rings that I have for sale. It has Birmingham hallmarks dating it to 1929-1930, and bears the maker's stamp, which appears to be WHH. The napkin rings have a very nice look...sort of exotic and fun. The horn has separated slightly in two places on each napkin ring, but that is not really a detriment in my opinion. The shield is not monogrammed.
