<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 11803, member: 35&quot;]Just some more stuff I polished up, but these rings are sterling, not plate.&nbsp; Nothing particularly special, but a nice little &quot;family&quot; collection.&nbsp; There are 3 Birks sterling rings, all of the same pattern on the edge, 2 the same size, one narrower.&nbsp; The one engraved &quot;Barney&quot; belonged to my FIL who was born in 1925.&nbsp; The one engraved &quot;Wendy&quot; is, of course, mine and dates from 1956.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The narrow one I don&#039;t know which family it came from -- mine or my husband&#039;s.&nbsp; But I&#039;m glad that there is this little silver connection between me and my husband&#039;s family.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one with the &quot;B&quot; also was Barney&#039;s and it has a Birmingham (the anchor?) mark, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one engraved &quot;CK&quot; belonged to DH&#039;s great or great-great-grandfather -- I believe that&#039;s a Gorham mark.&nbsp; Dating it would tell which grandfather it was.&nbsp; His first name (or second, depending on date) was Charles.</p><p><br /></p><p>The unengraved one came from DH&#039;s family and is marked STERLING with an &quot;L&quot; in a diamond.&nbsp; Dunno who that maker is/was.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marks will be in reply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
