14.      TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON *
         CO.

ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                  This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D relates
                  to the sale by the Reporting Person of all of the shares
                  common stock, .10 par value ("Common Stock"), issued by:
                             SIRCO INTERNATIONAL CORP. (the "Company")
                             24 Richmond Hill Avenue
                             Stamford, CT 06901
                  disclosed as acquired on such Statement.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

                  Item 4 of the Statement on Schedule 13D is hereby amended to
                  read in its entirety as follows:

                  As of February 9, 1998, CHC ceased to be the beneficial owner
                  of any of the Common Stock of the Company. The date of sale,
                  number of shares sold and share price for each of the sales of
                  stock made by CHC from January 20, 1998 through February 9,
                  1998 are indicated on Exhibit A attached hereto. Except as
                  described on Exhibit A, no transactions in Common Stock were
                  effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Person. As a
                  result of the foregoing, CHC ceased to be a beneficial owner
                  of 5% or more of the Common Stock.
