Weekend treasure hunting with my whites xl pro came up with a 1891 beer token.The local library had the saloon listed and dated.Near the old token I found a ruby ring with six diamonds.The ring is stamped 10 k and hall marked .It appears to be old and any help on ID would be appreciated.Thanks for looking.

Beautiful ring, and that token is way cool.

I went through Middletown today on my way to Jungle Jim's crazy grocery store.

I love to find tokens,but rings are my weakness, and that's a BEAUTIFULL ruby ring. Congrats!
 

Sweet!! Found mt first ruby ring this year and even get to see it on my girlfriends hand!! Sweet find and nice token too!
 

A jeweler could tell you about the hallmarks.

I can tell you it's beautiful! Congratulations on the ring and the token!

Ring is not old, as that "ruby" is actually a synthetic that has a newer type cut of the stone. Those are also cz's. That is what the "cz" stands for on the band. Ring was made within the last 15 years.
Nice find!
 

Nice ring!
Nice token!
Is that encrustation on the token or is it corrosion?
 

Nice ring and I really like the token! HH, Mike

If that is a letter C with an arrow through it, it is for Whiteside & Blank. They were out of NJ from 1899-1917. Seems Mr. Blank was a passenger on the Titanic. Read this:
