Wow - interesting! Is there an agency of any kind to track the information? Or is it just a license with no specifics? Thank you for sharing!

Most are too old to figure out, I have one where I could trace the owner.
I also have a wild goose ring somewhere

most of mine look like your 1951 Band

I don't find the colored ones here

Finding one with a leg bone would be like finding a treasure to me :occasion14:

Nice rings, find them in England, mostly below power lines. Oldest one I've had from memory was 1938. Managed to lose it in a pub on the way home,

Power lines would have explained the one with a bone in it! Lol
