Napkin ring commemorating the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE), 1909
This copper plated napkin ring is a souvenir from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) held in Seattle in 1909. It features a relief image of Mount Rainier, the fair’s official seal which includes three female figures (representing Asia, Alaska, and the Pacific Coast of America), and text reading “A.Y.P.

The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington.
