Sterling Silver KKK Klansman Ring - Whats it Worth?

[Stubby]

I've tried to research this on my own but I'm coming up empty. If you have an idea or know of a legit website I could research please let me know.

I'm not trying to offend anyone one just curious about the value and history behind this ring.

Thanks in advance for responses.

This ring is identical to what 2 of my friends have, and I've looked everywhere for one would you be interested in selling it?

I thought they were buried in the past. Seems they still walk among us.

They certainly do.

First cool find. I don't mean cool as in that's a cool ring. Cool you found a silver ring and cool the clansman lost his.

Personally I wouldn't sell it. I'd keep it or melt it down. It would never go back into the hands of the KKK.

I would never melt it down, it is worth far more as an artifact, it is a piece of history just like any other artifact.

It could be worth 10k I'd melt it down and make a peace symbol out of it... F#*@ KKK !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

I beg to differ. I don't see it as an artifact or a piece of history. It's different from Nazi stuff. This is more like costume jewelry.

I personally see both side's,On the fence so to speak...I'd most likely scrap it unless i found a true collector&NOT a klan member.That's ME a hardcore believer in the 2nd.4th.&5th.Ammendment,Along with all the other's!!!

It would be cool if you could come up with a Black Panthers ring and put them both together....talk about a conversation pc.

I found a kkk pin once... was 2 1/2 inch x 1 inch hooded head... marked sterling... sold it to first interested person for $100

 

[Sheldon J]

bottom line is if you are planning on disposing of it I would go with who ever will give you the most $$$$, melt or otherwise and by the previous posts it looks like otherwise would be the most profitable...

Culture and the United States of Anerica was changed by that hate group, if you don't think the KKK represents history you need to do a little research and educate yourself on how America was back then. What are they teaching in schools now days? Good or evil, it's history and should Not be brushed into the shadows like it never existed. It did.

Groups have come and gone throughout the history of this country. It really doesn't matter if you consider it good or bad, it is still a page in history. Sweeping it under the rug and removing it from textbooks only denies adults and students the opportunity to learn and form their own judgements about history's successes and failures. I think they need to learn the entire picture and think independently, not just think what the government wants them to think! Great historical find and I hope you do what you want to with it!

I tried to sell one to a guy in NY named Sharpton but he couldn't come up with what I was
asking, he said let me have it and I'll pay you later. Still hasn't paid up.

There is a very short list of items that I would never bring into my house. That would be one of them. Anything worn by an individual that judged a person solely on skin pigment has got to have some bad juju in it. My gf is always telling me that I might be bringing spirits into our house when I come home from detecting. I always laugh about it. But I wouldn't be taking any chances with certain things. Yes I'm probably crazy lol

Let me just say that any member of the KKK was without a doubt a terrible person, but DO NOT MELT THIS RING. Even if the history of the KKK's actions are horrible, this is an artifact just like any other. Just my two cents.
