They've been around for a long time.

The exact time and the person who invented the potato ricer is not known. However, it can be certainly said that the potato ricer was widely used before it was first patented in the year 1932. The 1932 design was simply an improvement on the previously used designs, but it is not when the first potato ricer was made. The use of potato ricer has also been mentioned in a cookbook published in 1918, which makes it safe to state that the potato ricer has definitely been in use from atleast 1918 and may be even much earlier.

I'd guess it goes back to the 19th century.
