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!

We offer quality work, reasonable prices, professional standards and two old-fashioned words that have not lost their meaning for us... Honesty and Integrity
