Chanticler Restaruant: Napkin ringsEntry/Object ID
2012.032.001Description
Four oval silverplate napkin rings engraved with a script "Chanticler" on front and a beehive(?)-shaped logo around the initials "WMF" (Wurttembergische Metallwaren Fabrik) and "Germany" beneath that, on back. Exact age is unknown, but the WMF mark on them was used from 1935-1965. Apparently much/most of their silverplate was over copper. All rings have light overall scratches and signs of wear. Three of the four rings have noticeable pitting. The rings were purchased on eBay. A neighbor in the restaurant busienss said they were probably stolen from an event at the Chanticler (which is now demolished).Acquisition
