ANY IDEA ON THIS RING?

[OZARKS]

Found this couple years back, but was recently looking through some old finds and came across this ring I found at an 1800s fairgrounds. I also added a group pic of other finds that accompanied it to give an idea on date ranges of the finds there, anywhere from 1881 to 1905 is date ranges on the other finds....

This ring is unique, and I've never seen another one like it, anywhere.... so does anyone have any ideas on it's origin, use, symbolism?



And, as mentioned, a grouping of the other finds made along wiht the ring that day....



Any ideas on the rings origin, use, symbolism, date range?

Appreciate you checking it out, Rob..

I gotta say, that is one heck of a place to hunt if you got all that in 1 day. Congrats.

Yeah that was 9 hours of hunting...a buddy found some great finds of his own, including a wedding ring, barber quarter, merc dimes etc... Was a hunt of a lifetime, at least for me

Thanks for looking and replying, but I don't think it's a girl scout ring. The motif on the side is much different if you look closely. Appreciate you

I think you nailed it on the date of the ring from your coin dates, it just a signet from that time period. I have several similar. Not sure of the metal content, any Hallmarks inside possibly? I know before 1906 it was not required to mark the metal content of the rings, but some did have makers makes.

Similar.
