Nice group of items you found..
Beautiful silver napkin ring, all the antiques so well preserved. Wonderful history on Mr Rato Potier and his family, great research!
dav2no1,
Thank you!
Newfld,
Thank you so much! I love researching!
I used to love playing with the napkin rings as a child. Later, my mother Alma used them every day at dinnertime. When she passed away, I inherited them, I did the same. By the way, I'm the one who used to polish them! I love silver and its patina. I'm glad they were bought by some one who appreciated them.
