MON STER

[K1DDO1979]

I squeezed in a hour hunt this afternoon and had some luck. I got some odds and ends but the best finds were a sterling ring and two silver dimes. I have a few mystery’s on my hands. The first mystery is the ring has a mark at the top underneath besides the sterling mark on the band with symbols and 10k stamped in it that has a line scratching it out? You’ll see in my pictures. Second mystery is what the “MON” in front of “STER” means? Last mystery is a big silvery coloured object that has a clasp? Any ideas on that would be appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Thanks. I’m curious on yours. What did yours say? Have a inscribed name?Any maker marks? Date how old it was at all? Post a pic here if you have one handy. I’d like to see it! [emoji16][emoji106]

Here is the link to the post I did on the bracelet. It didn't have a maker's mark, just a name and town. Given the age of the original owner, I suspect it dates from between 1940-1960.

The item with teeth might be a device used to castrate livestock.

Cool. I sanded down a big of the build up on mine and just noticed small lettering on the underside. Looks like it could be medical info like it was part medical Id bracelet! [emoji106]

Hi K1ddo, Some really nice obscure finds!

Makers mark "MON" and content "STER" for sterling. Cool piece! I don't know what that thing with all the teeth is, but I ain't puttin it in my pants pocket! No sireee! Hairclip, LOL

Best wishes and Good Luck

Maybe it is actually a serious Chastity Clamp used by those who want to instill fear and pain. Ouch!!
