Old Line Paul Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I dug this near an elementary school bike rack. It’s copper, with slight traces of silver-colored plating. The name “LEAH” is bracketed with shooting stars. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the outside is a clear, convex acrylic band. At first, I assumed it was a child’s ring. But the interior diameter is only 11/16” and the acrylic band is somewhat rubbery. If it’s a personalized ring, good thing the wearer’s name is only 4 letters. JACQUELINE would have been a tight fit! It seems both too cheap and too over-engineered to be jewelry. So I’m wondering if it might be a part of something. I tried searching internet for companies named LEAH with a shooting star logo but no luck. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Back in the mid 70's that was a common type of ring, and they were cheap for the kids to buy. They were silver plated and had a max of 6 or 7 letters on them with many different names on them. They cost under $5.00 which was a average price for them. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geotech Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 It's a souvenir shop ring, off one of those carousels that have a couple hundred common names. Next to the keychain carousel and fridge magnet carousel. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
