A quick bit of history on Napier: The Napier Company was named after its president, James H. Napier, who led the company from 1920 to 1960. But the company's history can be tracked back to 1875 when it was founded as Whitney and Rice in Attleboro, Mass., manufacturing silver products. The firm changed hands and name in 1882 and became Carpenter and Bliss and shortly thereafter, E.A. Bliss and Co., Inc. After rapid expansion in the late 1880s the company moved to Meriden, CT in 1890. After WWI, the firm shifted emphasis from silver products to production of modern jewelry. James Napier became president in 1920 and the company adopted the name Napier - Bliss Co. In 1922, the name was changed to Napier Company.  Like many jewelry companies Napier got into lines of art objects and other utilitarian objects like cocktail shakers and jiggers.

Measurements: A tad over 7" tall 

Maker/year: Napier, 1940s

Hallmarks: "Napier Pat Pend" (patent pending) can be found on the inside of the short jigger end.

Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age and tarnish. This appears to be NOS (new old stocks), although please note the box shows noticeable age, from time and likely how it was stored in the past. The jigger shows mild tarnish and age (that comes purely from time) but is in great shape overall. Truly a stunning measure. Cheers.
