Many glass companies in the United States made toothpick holders. Toothpicks were also made in porcelain and metal. Here is a link to the National Toothpick Holders Collectors Society. http://nthcs.org/ Their webpage seems to be open to members only.
To learn about toothpicks we recommend:
Glass Toothpick Holders by Bredehoft & Sanford
1000 Toothpick Holders, A Collector's Guide by William Heacock.
The National Toothpick Holder Collector's Society, Toothpick Holders: China, Glass & Metal.
Is It Old? Is It New? by Pauline Breer Griscom in collaboration with Helen Boyd & Harry Ware.
This little book shows side by side comparisons of old and reproduction toothpicks.
And don't forget toothpicks holders made today are collectible!
