I have encountered this figural napkin ring in Australia only but have not seen it much in USA auctions.
I sometimes wonder if it was a special batch (hence "SB") that was released in Australia.
This figural napkin rings is NOT shown in
the book
"
Figural Napkin Rings: Collector's Identification and Value Guide
", by Gottschalk and Whitson (G&W),
so is very rare and may confirm my belief it was a special batch release.
I have sold this ring recently twice before for 00 and 50, so this is a fair price. It will appreciated in time as things come and go in cycles.
This is like mint condition too, natural patina, hardly showing any age; may have been kept as an ornament. They don't show up the the USA much. If you are serious collector this is a must.
Did find one that sold in USA for 00 USD plus 20% commission = 80 plus expensive postage
