Noritake Deco Tree by Lake toothpick holder
This 2 1/2 inch tall footed toothpick holder is very unusual in that it carries the words Del. Water Gap on its side. It is done in the fairly common pattern collectors refer to as Tree by Lake, a variant of the Tree in the Meadow pattern distributed by the Larkin Soap Company as premiums. This toothpick holder is in great shape. It may have been part of a smoking set or a condiment set. I have seen other items with this very souveniring in the past, particularly on a figural ashtray of a dog on the ashtray, but in 20 years of collecting this is the first time I have seen it on a toothpick holder. To see a piece with the same souveniring see page 46 of Spain's Noritake A-Z book, plate A.9. It is signed with the standard green wreath mark. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to join your Noritake or toothpick holder collection.

toothpick holder: Diamond Spearhead green
This toothpick holder was produced by the Northwood Glass Works in 1902 as part of the National Glass Company. It stands 2 1/4 inches tall. It is shown on page 149 of the Second Edition Bredehoft book.
This particular green toothpick holder must have just barely gotten any refiring as the opalescent rim is hard to see but visible. The more heat in the refiring process the more the points of the rim melted. As you can see, the points in this pattern are almost untouched by the heat. That makes this a scarce example.
The toothpick holder is in excellent condition and ready to join your collection.

toothpick holder - Jeff Optic amethyst
In operation from 1900-1913 first in Steubenville Ohio then Follansbee West Virginia, the Jefferson Glass Company produced this toothpick holder in amethyst glass and called it their Optic pattern. It still has remnants of the original gold trim along its top band. I don't believe this was a souvenir piece, which makes it harder to find than the common souvenired ones. It is in excellent shape. Add it to your toothpick or Jefferson glass collection today.
It can be seen in a light purple version on page 50 of Heacock 1000 as #192, but enamel decorated there.

toothpick holder: green w/gold Iris Meander
Jefferson Glass toothpick holder: green w/ some gold Iris w/Meander toothpick holder purchased from Judy Knauer at the 1986 NTHCS Iowa Convention. Listed as A-Z #150.

According to Bob Davis, the original factory name was simply Iris. It was made at the Steubenville OH plant from 1904-1907. He valued it at $135 in his handout prepared for the 2007 convention.
