<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 3654466, member: 111&quot;]Napkin rings were not really known before the early 19th century, mention of them appearing around the 1830s - in American silver, probably started showing up around the 1850s, and appearing in 1860s catalogs, so the earliest I have are American coin silver.&nbsp; This oblong unmarked coin ring probably dates around the mid 1860s, Soeffing&#039;s &#039;Silver Medallion Flatware&#039; (1988) doesn&#039;t show this head, but having found very similar marked examples, believe it was likely made by S.D. Brower &amp; Son of Albany, NY:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]308913[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Engraved inside, &quot;<i>From Will</i>&quot;:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]308914[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
