Richard A. Canfield (1855-1914) was a prominent American businessman and art collector. Known as the "Prince of Gamblers," he was one of the earliest to develop the modern day resort casino and the solitaire game Canfield is named in his honor.  After establishing a well-known gambling operation in Providence, RI, he moved to New York in the 1880’s opening Canfield's Clubhouse at 5 East 44th Street and the Saratoga Clubhouse in Saratoga Springs. His gambling resorts were frequented by members of wealthy families like the Whitneys, Vanderbilts and Morgans, as well as gambling legends Diamond Jim Brady and John Warne "Bet-a-Million" Gates. In 1907, when reformers succeeded in banning gambling, Canfield was forced to close his casinos. In his later years, Canfield owned a successful glass making business and continued to expand his art collection. He was a personal friend of James Abbott McNeill Whistler and possessed the second largest Whistler collection in the world prior to his death. The present stickpins were passed down to the current owner via their great grandmother, Canfield's wife.
