Baseball ring

[Mainedigger]

Found this at an old farm (1800's) site I've been hunting, looks like it is a kids ring from the small size of the ring, the ring part is about the size of a nickel and from left to right along the outer edge it says balls, outs, strikes, Above the batter there is writing that may be a signature, can;t really read the script all that well...first word may say Candy or Casey or something else entirely. Second word is tough...could be Pofbo, Pafbo Iazzo, Iazbo....can;t tell from the script which is in Englaish, but barely... Any ideas on what it is and age? Also looks brass or copperand may ahve been gold gilded (gilted?) at one time when it was newer.
Thanks.

Great find! It's the Andy Pafko Scorekeeper Ring, issued by Muffets breakfast cereal in 1949.

Wow! great find and that was some good research. There can't be too many of those rings floating around (or burried).
