2 Gold rings & 1 CrackerJack toy

[mike b]

Today was the first of three negative low tides, I plan on hitting all three. Normally I use an Equinox but recently brushed off one of my Excalibur's and its been paying off. I think I was getting too comfortable and it was time to change up. I found these way off shore where its too deep to wade except during a hard off shore wind and a negative tide, or diving during the season. Both have marks on them but there not Karat marks so I would guess both are 10K by the condition they were in when I found them. The picture is after I cleaned them up. The Crackerjack toy was close to shore and screaming loud, hard to believe any could miss that one. The image on the 1925 ring is a cat and it isn't as crazy looking as it looks in the picture.

That cat ring is wild! I wonder what the significance of it is.

This is the Crackerjack top after I tumbled it, looks like brass. A person that collects them said they were made from Pot metal or brass.

Nice finds. Got any other pics of the rings? Any before cleaning, like you have for the toy? Any pics of the rings that you can enlarge? Thanks for posting and good luck next time out!

If you look at the 4 pictures at the top of the page the bottom picture on the bluish background is the before picture without cleaning. The top picture on the dark background is after a 90 minute tumble. My phone never gets the best color or clarity. look close and you can see it.

Those rings are awesome! I wonder if it is a class ring? It looks like there is a spot for a gem. So cool.

Killer rings, you had a great day!
I don't think that is a Cracker Jack toy, I believe it's a "Put N Take" brass spindle for placing bets at a bar.
Kudos!

not a cracker jack toy that I know of

its a Give and take gambling top
my uncle told me yrs ago (he has passed) that you would ante in a pot
then take turns spinning - there are a few varieties
mine has P1 P2 T1 T2, T ALL
P - stands for - put
T stands for - take
T A - stands for take all
if someone gets TA they get whole pot and everyone has to ante again

I found that exact same style of ring with the cat at a 20-30's summer camp, except it had initials instead of date. The gem was a tiny diamond. Also wasn't marked but ended up being 10K. Nice finds, congrats!
