C cornman Jr. Member Joined Jan 1, 2007 Messages 39 Reaction score 1 Golden Thread 0 Jun 29, 2008 #1 I found this silver ring at an old (1880's) house site in Ohio, but I don't know if it is old or not. It does say sterling silver on the band (twice). The size is a bit over 1 inch top to bottom. Any ideas?
