- H.F. Daltry & Co, established 1781
- H.F.D. & Co. produced full dresser sets for women and travel sets for men, but this ring tree does not match the ring trees in sets currently for sale, making this item unique.

Purchased at the original Bermondsey Antiques Market, London, in the 1980s, and includes original dealer's tag.

I will combine shipping with additional sales.
