I found a few odds & Ends this weekend! A 1955 ring found in cereal Boxes from American Airlines that say's "junior Pilot." An arrowhead pendant. Can't find a mark on it. Also, I am having a really tough time cleaning it. Any ideas on what the metal is or how to completely clean it? A kids ring. Two silver earring hoops. One is 925. The other w/ the diamonds (fake I'm sure) is 825. The heart is...lead??? It's heavy but not silver for sure. Those are my digs! Thanks for looking. HH

Nice assortment of finds.

The heart pendant might be pewter. I really like the arrowhead pendant.


Congrats!

Great finds.... I love the arrowhead pendant.. I see the ring is patially open, maybe that is how it got lost in the first place ??? I am sure it will look great when it has been cleaned.

God bless

I had an arrowhead like that when I was a kid, I think my mom got it from Avon. I can remember that it was all the rage at the elementary school (late 70s early 80s).

great find ring master!!

Pewter! This is my first pewter. Thank goodness you told me! I had visions of this kid with lead around their neck.

Any idea on the arrowhead metal? Gold in color...no markings....

Thanks!

H, nice finds by the way. I was looing at the arrow head as well, and can remember them quite well I think. Looks to me like the ones I used to see in heavy metal mags back when I was a kid, you know Hit Perader and stuff like that. Thanks for the look.
