Modernist Chrome Toothpick Holder by Russel Wright for Chase Co.

About the Item

A very nice modernist toothpick holder by Russel Wright for Chase & Co., circa 1940s. The stainless steel design features a very sleek rounded handle and would be great for syrup, cream or watering a small plant. The piece is in very good condition and measures 6.5" W x 3" D x 5" H. It is marked "Chase" with company logo on the underside. #1615 The Chase Brass and Copper Company produced consumer and industrial products including buttons, novelties, copper pipe and plumbing supplies. During the 1930s, when demand for these types of goods declined due to the Great Depression, Chase, seeking to increase its business, entered the consumer market with a line of modern household goods made of chrome-plated metal, copper, and brass. The stylish, streamlined wares were created by some of the leading industrial designers of the day, including Russel Wright, Lurelle Guild, and Walter Von Nessen. Chase discontinued the line in the early 1940s when the company was engaged by the US government to produce war materials, such as shell and gun casings, during World War I.
