kac Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Found this puttering around an old park, wasn't very deep and happened to be near a junk brass ring so I thought this was a clunker too and just chucked it in my pouch. Ring is silver, no hallmark on it, probably worn off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Nice Lapis ring kac! 👍 The deer head indicates hunting, or sport. Great relic, congrats. I like how they inlaid it in the horns too. Is the inside under the stone hollow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Awesome ring. That has a lot of character to it. One of the nicest older rings I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Very nice find and looks like something from the 1930 to 1950 era hunting clubs. They would give out rings or watches with awards to the top winners, should be easy to find out which club had that style. Most were made from a person in the state or area of the club. I will look through some of grandfathers old books to see if I can find it. Good luck on your next hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 That's an impressive find, kac, and does indeed look pretty old. I would guess, as Valens suggested, a hunting lodge ring or possibly a fraternal organization like the Elks or something similar. Well done!

The ring appears to be from the Elks club of New Haven,Connecticut from what I am finding out. That is the only group that was using that set of antlers on their items.The bumps below the antlers are the facial features and that style of ring was worn from the higher position leaders. The rings were made of sterling silver or 14kt gold, most were silver. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 So , it's the Elks Grand Poobah's ring,,,,to rule them all ! I was gonna guess it belonged to a double oh spy and there was poison in a chamber under the stone after reading 350's post.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
