                      First used in 1922, this hinged bangle bracelet remained a staple in the line for over 70 years. It can be found with many surface patterns, including polished, textured, basket weave, and gold or silver tapestry. The bracelet has a characteristic “lip” around the edge as seen in the bracelet above.

                        Napier made fascinating barware. This “Wet Your Whistle” jigger actually works as a whistle! Very cleaver.
