Weekend Hunts (silver ring record)

[PenguinDetectsCA]

I went out on Friday and Saturday home-hunting.
Got a new record for rings (3 sterling in 2 days)

Friday:
4 wheats, turquoise ring and class ring (class ring not pictured, I returned it to owner).

Saturday:
Very short hunt (1hr) but was good.
4 wheats, raspberry perfume(?) piece, triangle coin, 1943 War Nickel, 1947 Rosie, and Green Stone Ring. Opal gold ring is fake

Have a good one

Some nice finds there.

The mark on the turquoise ring looks like it might be the workshop mark used by Maisel's Indian Trading Post of Albuquerque, NM. Established by Maurice and Cyma Maisel in 1939 to cater to the new Route 66 tourist trade, it closed in 1968 when Maurice died. In its heyday the business employed hundreds of native craftspeople but not individually identified… instead using that generic workshop mark (a stylized Kachina doll) alongside the word ‘STERLING’.

The perfume brand Irresistible (Irresistible Inc.) was introduced in 1932 by entrepreneur Joseph Lindemann and headquartered in Jersey City, NJ. The company was known for highly popular inexpensive cosmetics and fragrances sold in five and dime stores, including fruit-scented novelty perfumes in the 1930s and 1940s. It ceased to be an independent entity after merger with Nestle-Le Mur in 1949 and the brand progressively disappeared during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The 'TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE' token with the triangle was used in Alcoholics Anonymous programmes, with the ‘I’ in the triangle representing the achievement of one year on the wagon for the recipient. It will probably have an 'AA' logo on the other side, surrounded by some further words of encouragement.

The ring with the green stone has the ‘U between two inward facing arrows’ mark used by the Uncas Mfg. Co. established in Providence, RI in 1911. That particular mark first saw use in 1918 and was still being used until at least 1988, although they had largely replaced it with the word “Uncas” by the 1950s.

Your key is from an old Ford. At least I knew what one item was!
