Who are the jewelry experts here? I would like any information on this ring that you can give like is it from 50’s, 60’s? Older /newer? What’s it mean when it says sterling and there’s no .925? And how do I find out about the marking?

Drove to town in the rain, (naturally) and it stopped when I got back home.

I'm getting pretty good at kicking field goals. I nailed a 40 yarder this afternoon.

Sharps Carbine bullet found at Gaines Mill Battlefield




.69 Cal. roundball found at Second Manassas in the path of the Union retreat. (my gggreat uncle covered the retreat with the 50th PA, and almost got trapped at the rivers edge)




.54 Cal. found at Cedar Creek




Iron case shot found at Cold Harbor






.58 Cal. Bullet found at White Oak Swamp.








1800s Pickle jar (didn't stay in the house ten minutes before it was commissioned as a flower vase.)





Lima Ohio soda




The Bennet bottle is obviously the best. I am not sure how a Kansas bottle ended up all the way out here, but it is in mint condition. W.A. Bennet was the founder, and a Civil War officer. He opened up his first business in Pennsylvania in 1866, but quickly moved to Hutchinson Kansas, selling fruit flavored sodas. His sons took over after his death, and landed the company in hot water, when they started using Coca Cola syrups without their permission. That's a big no-no. This bottle dates right around that time frame.

And I pray for you RR and our younger generations. The coming times will not be easy.

Every generation since the beginning of recorded times have had their trials and tribulations with qualms concerning the "coming times", and still humankind has endeavored to persevere.
There will always be good times, bad times, hard times, easy times, weird times but no matter what, the morning always comes.

I've been busy cataloguing stamps for upcoming bid on ebay. Finally finished the task so here's an interesting article on budgeting if you're so inclined.

Ok, now tell me if I am deducing this information correctly. It was made in a native American silver smith shop (Shop 3) and no artist can be attributed to it. They didn't start putting marks on the jewelry until the 70's and 80's, so that's probably the date range for it?

Morning Bill, RR, GB
Thanks Rook. It rains for the next couple of days, then snow on week end.
...if we go dry on the rum there's going to be a problem! Rumination!!!

=======

Not a problem, I will swing by and pick you up Beeps. I enjoy rum runs with you. I just love running over those buoys

I do regret removing that one buoy, and as fate would have it, Bart hit the reef with his prop while delivering the vessel. Luckily, he doesn't know it was me and so we are still friends

 

[Simon1]

I'm the young guy who's going to have to deal with this crap later!

======

You are destined to be an old hermit out in the boonies RR, they still haven't run electricity out there yet have they ?
