Request Assistance To ID These Vintage Placemats & Napkins

I was hoping that someone in this group might be able to assist me by looking at these vintage placemats and napkins that belonged to my late grandmother. (They are from the 1940's, I believe) 

 

These appear to be brand new and never used.  I have four of each. (The color is a mint green)

 

Are they of any value or just "sentimental value"?

 

Thank you in advance for any insight.IMG_0621.JPGIMG_0623.JPG

Don't appear to be "mint green" on my monitor.  Are you sure that's the best color descriptor?   I see more of grayed-green which support their being from the 1940s as they very likely could be.  (Mint green wasn't a 1940s colorway.)

Just wanted to add that the fabric is damask and an internet search will bring up comparables.

Thank you @debora_34_

I'm not well-versed in what colors of fabrics are called, so I appreciate your imput.  

 

I will do some more searching to see if they are worth selling or should keep as a memory.
