Old Ring

[BIENER]

Got out for a couple hours and found a old brass ring with the glass still intact. It's in great shape for it's age.




While walking along I found this nice looking arrowhead.





On the way out I stumbled along this 1883 IHC!



Nice day to be out.

17th C?

Nice job...

17th C?

Don't think it's that old. The ring came from an area that I've found other civil war era relics and coins.

Like I always say, that makes little difference, unless you told me it was found in context in a sealed archaeological layer.

Not saying it is 17th C yet, need more photo's, but it is a very similar, form, stone & manufacture.

I'm definitely not the professional when it comes to dating artifacts. I will provide more pics later but if I recall there were no mint marks. Thanks

Being a base metal I wouldn't expect any marks at all.

Is the bezel cast as one, or soldered?

 

[BIENER]

I don't see any indication of be soldered but here are a few pics.

 

[Beezly]

That's a nice ring

 

[BIENER]

Here is another example that I found the other day in the same general area that appears to be soldered together.

Could these be wedding rings? The pics seem to reveal a little gold plating?

Love those old rings
