Design & Utility

The base of each cat figurine is fitted with a spring-loaded metal alligator clip. To use, the fine silver-tone link chain is draped around the neck while the two clips pinch the upper corners of a fabric or paper napkin—instantly transforming standard table linen into a protective chest bib. It is a highly practical yet wonderfully conversational dining accessory that presents a great vintage aesthetic on a table setting.

- The Cat Figurines & Chain: The heavy silver-tone cast metal figures are entirely free from cracks, structural fractures, or casting chips. The dark textured relief features are perfectly preserved. The connecting link chain is secure, smooth, and free from kinking or link splits.
- The Clips: Both spring-loaded metal clips operate cleanly, displaying strong tension and alignment to hold linen securely without slipping. Widespread, entirely historic golden solder or adhesive tarnish is visible around the rear clip mounting rings from factory assembly, which is hidden behind the figures during use.
- The Presentation Box: The original clear acetate container remains structurally sound and holds its shape cleanly. The plastic face displays expected superficial scuffs, minor edge shelf crinkles, and a vintage price label residue spot on the lower edge, but fully protects the interior lot.
