First hunt and first ring of 2012

xmarks73 · Jan 6, 2012

HIt a local farm field that I had been eyeing for a while and came up with a few cool finds and a lot of lava rocks that for some reason bounces dime nickel signal. :BangHead:

Pretty vague, but any idea of the age of the ring? I looked up other FOE rings but have not seen an eagle design that looks this primitive. Any clues? :dontknow:

Maybe.... just a guess.... Fraternity Order of Eagles

Most noted for being on headstones.... so not sure. just throwing it out there. :dontknow:

Ok. think i found it... found a pin on E-bay that maches the ring! :hello2:

Pretty cool find. It was started in Seattle back in 1898 by 5 theatre owners.

There's a ring almost identical to it on E-bay. Check it out. Vintage FOE Fraternal Order of Eagles Sterling Silver Ring.

Yeah, interesting group. One of the founding members branched off from the Fraternal Order of Eagles and started the Moose lodge chapters. FOE pushed for Mother's Day, fought for the abolishment of age discrimination, plus much, much more! I have not heard much from them in the recent years. :dontknow:

Wow! They are all going from $60.00 to $90.00 bucks! Maybe just wishful thinking but the design on the one I found looks older than that of those listed. Perhaps its just warn though. not sure. :dontknow:

Sweet silver ring!!

It's only a guess.... but I would agree that it's probably an older one. I was thinking 1930'S?? Might try to find out when they started stamping "sterling" inside the rings... :icon_scratch:
