Okay I know its a gold ring and I took the liberty of photo-shopping out the words that ran around the outside of the ring as it would give it away. I know its over 50 years old or older.
So looking at the ring itself what is it?


They used to put these as a prize in Quaker Oats boxes years ago, this is a sculpture of the 2 Quaker brothers that started the business

Ranman

Patterned December 1, 1914. Never researched the worth, but has a lot of sentimental value.

Well, Pope don't look too young in that engraving. That's all I got to say about that.  Still think it looks like General Robert E Lee.

Heck I don't even know what it is, found turkey hunting in a big field! about 10 miles from the battle of Raymond!

Experimental ninja throwing star. Utilized by the Union army in 1862. Think it was scrapped at the same time the two cannonballs tethered together with chain was. Apparently, timing the firing correctly was a bit dicey. One side was bound to touch it off on the two count instead of three for some odd reason.

There is something seriously wrong with Happy!
I think with some Group Therapy, Industrial Strength Drugs and some Electrical Shock Therapy...... Happy might be able to resume his place as somewhat of a contributing member of this forum.

Electrical shock therapy is the cause of all of this. Worked as an electrician for 16 years, and I am still involved in it.

Easy, fancy shot glasses for cheap whiskey. They are modeled off of overhead line insulators. Each dimple is worth roughly 5k volts. Or in whiskey terms a shot. Overload it, and there will be a short circuit to ground in both instances.

My first thought was civil war belt buckle.  But most photos I find of those showed oval buckles. But the lettering is very similar. Maybe a buckle, maybe something off a saddle or a bag?

Love to hunt the King of Spring!
