Was there also a patent for a ribbon mic in the UK, perhaps even
earlier? (Blumlein?)

I think I've answered my own question - here's Harry F. Olson's
patent for the ribbon mic
http://www.google.com/patents/US1885001
from March 31st 1931. Boy, were those guys on a roll in 1931! (But,
of course, if anyone knows of anything earlier....)

And this http://www.google.com/patents/US1892646 from May 29
(again!) 1931 would be (minus the thermocouples, etc) a full 3D
native B format mic!

Folks,
There is truly nothing new under the sun. (translation by
Goggles). I just came across the following patent
http://www.google.com/patents/US2173219 for what is essentially a
native B Format microphone using ribbon microphones. The filing
date? May 29th, 1937! (Actually, I was trying to pinpoint the
date when figure of eight microphones were first available - anyone know?)
