    Well, possibly an E (but why engrave sideways?).

    You should be able to identify your letter by browsing old monogram letter designs. Here's one; a Google Images search will bring up more.

    It's on a finger ring,if you look at it from the tip of the finger it is the right direction.

    A ton of these were made by/for hippies in the 60s, and it's probably still being done.

    There is a dealer at the local flea who makes rings and other things like pendants and chimes out of old cutlery. Makes them all winter and sells them all summer :)

    I ventured out yesterday, I have been a real homebody lately. The thrifts sell the best things to dealers now, but once in awhile you get lucky. A type of cufflink I never saw before, not sure how they work with the cuffs, $1.50.

    This may be gold filled or rpg. I need to remove a tad of verdigris, and I want to but a small pearl in it. It's longer, fits me nicely, $1.50. Is there a name for this kind of chain?

    Found this on my second go-round. Pink sapphire, cultured pearl, 14k, $1.50.
