AMERICAN STERLING SILVER NAPKIN RING
This unusual napkin ring dated Oct. 2, 1900 and marked St. Louis commemorates the Veiled Prophet Organization and the festivities held that year. Along with a raised dragon in the design, there are also the stylized letters VP. This organization started in 1878 with the intent annually to simulate Mardi Gras activities with parades, costumes, and a grand ball. These activities have evolved over the years and continue on today.
