Found my first ring yesterday

[CoilyGirl]

1956 class ring, a little smashed though. It looks like it's white gold maybe and is badly in need of a cleaning. I would love to see it restored to its original condition. Looks like 10k is engraved on the inside.

Congrats CG!! That's a nice early one. Any identifying marks inside other than the 10kt"

Thanks Bill and yes there are the initials HJ which stands for Herff Jones,a company that has been around a long time and actually made my class ring in 1977. I like the old style of this one. I actually thought it was a pull tab at first so I agine my surprise when it wasn't!

Very nice find Nancy!
I have yet to find a class ring... for some reason I don't think they were very popular here?

Was it a Mexican biker ring? chief, skull, or horse?

It was made of brass and had no decoration on front and was rectangular shaped on top.

There you go CG, you have broken the seal so to speek. Now the rings will be looking for your coil to get under.
