What is this large metal ring?

[justdigging50]

These are some finds from my last few hunts. I don't know what the large ring is, wagon hardware?. The small copper or brass ring has no marks, anyone ever see one like it? I found the silver ring today, it's always fun finding jewelery. The Booze Bottle cap is from the
Gooderham & Worts, Limited Toronto, Canada Est. 1832 Canada's Oldest Distillery.
Some old boozers were in my neighborhood, I'm trying to carry on the tradition (hiccup-burp)
Hope you guy are doing well HH

I'm guessing a hitching post ring. Probably later period when they were doing some of those fancy posts and the recessed part fit into the front of the post finial.

That brass ring looks uncomfortable at best, might have been given to someone to ward them off.

That silver ring looks great and that booze cap, well I'm just wondering if someone didn't sneak that bottle in around 80+ years ago...

Great looking finds there Ed. Silver ring is cool, wonder what the stones might be (if the facets are sharp and not
rounded they could be diamonds) Keep diggin up those goodies HH DFW

Hi Ed! Good to see another post from you!

The last two are my favorite, and the last one is really cool!!!

I was wondering where I dropped that bottle cap...
