Vintage Ring Found

[soldier35]

Hi All,
Found this Ostby & Barton Sterling agate stone ring today. Ostby and Barton were jewelers from Chicago. From the research I did Mr. Ostby and his daughter Helen were passengers on the Titanic. Mr. Ostby did not survive. His family and Mr. Barton continued in the jewelry business until 1950. Big thanks to my daughter who snapped the pictures. These pics are after we took it to the jeweler for a good cleaning. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to ALL!

Maybe just me, but ring looks c. 1920 or so: ornate, carefully carved basket and brackets. Definately worth more than just silver value.
