This is a collection of 6 African animal shaped wood napkin holders. Actually there are 7 animals and I’m guessing it was originally a set of 8 and possibly one got broken or lost, so I’m selling it as a set of 6 and throwing in the one extra animal.
The animals included are 2 antelope, 2 elephants, a hippopotamus, a rhinoceros rhino, and a zebra.
They are hand made. The animals are standing on top of the opening that holds the napkins. The animals are roughly two inches tall. I do not know what type of wood they are made from, but its nice and smooth and shiny.
I obtained the set at an estate sale. The seller said her parents were world travelers but didn’t know which country they were for. She also did not know the age, but said she remembers them being around ‘for decades’. She estimated 1970s.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Package Mail charges of $6.29. Shipping is from Arizona.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
