Powhatan Arrow Napkins

[NW Mailing List]

  Thanks for the information gentlemen. I should've known such a fine 
train wouldn't use paper napkins in the dining car! So thanks for 
jumping in there Jim. You too, Ken. I'll send you photos (small file 
size) if you email me at azvinnie at hotmail.com 
<mailto:azvinnie at hotmail.com>.

Thanks again.
Vince

I have to agree with Jim. To the best of my research, and what I've
seen and vaguely remember, the paper napkins were only lounge car
service, the different designs could easily be different orders from
different suppliers over time. I'd be interested in seeing a photo of
the two.
