June Martin Forum Master Posts: 1326 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-18-2000 10:38 PM According to Dorothy and Ivan Rainwater, napkin rings as we know them came into vogue in the Victorian period. They note that the idea of a napkin ring is first mentioned in print in an 1838 magazine devoted to needlework. The first patent for napkin rings was issued in 1869. The 1867 Meriden Brittania Company catalog featured fifteen designs for napkin rings. IP: Logged
