WHAT A CONCEPT!  A toothpick holder shaped like a corset!!!  It must have been controversial because these, especially in blue are quite rare..  The base says
"PATENT APPLD FOR". It is 2" tall, made by Bellaire Goblet ca. 1899.

This precious little guy is named BABY OWL.
He is only 2 1/2" tall and 2" wide & holds your toothpicks
in a jar on his back. Westmoreland made them in the early 1900s and again in the 1950s. Since this one is signed by Westmoreland (see above), it is probably from the later period.
