                      Doris Day Originals Charm Bracelet

                      In the 1950s, The Napier Co. contracted with Doris Day to be a spokesperson for Napier by launching the “Doris Day” jewelry line. The jewelry can be identified with a hang tag “Doris Day Originals,” or those pieces documented in our book on pages 313-317. What was not discussed, and perhaps one day we will cover this in a future blog, is that the relationship between Doris Day and The Napier Co. had lots of challenges that resulted in a short-term collaboration.  Below is a rare image of the marketing material from the “Doris Day Originals” Napier campaign and “Doris Day Originals”  bracelet.

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