Got out for a few hours tonight silver ring. A Wilson bohannan padlock patent date of June 25 79 also a small 18k gold ring. Would like some help identifying the maker and a rough time frame. Can't seem to find much online. Thanks in advance

This might not be helpful but,
I searched around a bit & I found these 3 guys from Austria @ this link: https://www.langantiques.com/univer...product_cat=uncategorized&ixwps=1&tags=1&s=EJ
Janovsky, Eduard
Jochs, Edmund
Junghanns, Emil
All 3 operated from Austria between 1867-1922.
I turned your photo upside down & see the mark as
"EJ18". Maybe the initials are the maker & 18 is the Karat.
Nevertheless, nice little chunk of old 18K.
Congrats !!
On another note, I realize that your Sterling "Baby Spoon" was not a demitasse spoon. The demitasse spoon's neck is too long. I think it is a Baby Spoon like you said. That company made some nice looking Sterling silverware. Hope you can find some more pieces.
Picture of your ring: Now this is REALLY a stretch, but if you zoom in on the image
it looks like there is an image of a rose on the "8". If it is, could it be the mark for
18k Rose Gold in old Europe ???? Maybe "Crusader" or some of our other comrades from Europe can shed some light on this.

Sorry can't help other than agreeing it looks like EJ18. You can exclude the UK but that's about it. I only specialise in British finds, sorry.
