Gold Ring from the Old Park

[Kiwijohn]

I have been going back to the old park....

Still plenty of stuff to find there.

Rather light and thin gold ring, but gold is gold....right?
It is marked "15ct REIN"

15 ct gold first was used in 1854 and was discontinued in 1932 with the intro of 14 ct.

Hi John,

Congrats on a nice colonial ring that is possibly German (REIN) . Just a guess. And yeah, 15 ct gold was very common during Vicky's reign.

No.. I just cleaned it with soapy water and a toothbrush. I am going to take it for an
'ultrasound' at a jewellers. It is very yellow which ties in with the link kindly supplied by
krazyace and yes it looks 'old'.

I'm thinking REIN stands for some kind of electro-plating, not sure though, its just I think I see brass under the Gold
