Found this ring at an old farm house in Walkerton, Indiana along a tree line area.It was only 2 inches deep.I'm trying to research this ring and found some info on it.It has initials F.T. and the other markings on the inside are 'Fraternity Mnf. Co. Cedar Rfds. IA'. Turns out it was made in Iowa.I think the 'RFDS' is actually rapids as in Cedar Rapids Iowa.The engravings are extremely small.I know it's silver, but there are no markings on the metal content.The outside has a Large 'M' and has a "23" and a "hs", i assume for high school.Balfour Is the company that made the ring.On wikipedia I read the company started making contracts with schools back in 1923 to make class rings.Does anyone know how to research a ring like this?It is very hard to find the school.
