Nice little ring does look like it has some age, any silver day is a good day.

Thanks! Yeah, it has some markings but looks worn and I can't figure it out. The fact that it says sterling and not 925 is good indication it's older.

Another sterling silver ring I found at a very old Chicago park. It's so tiny which makes me to believe it must've been for a child. Nice heart designs too. Mercury dime for scale.
Very likely early 1900's ring made by Uncas. The mark would have a heart and arrow.

That's cool! I'd still take a 1930's sterling kid's ring. Thanks for the reference!

If it really is a Kiddie Gem ring, the history is pretty interesting.
In the early 1900s young men couldn't easily afford silver jewelry and so they waited for the carnival to come to town. Kiddie Gem made the silver rings as prizes to carnival games and the boys would try to win them for their sweethearts...some even as engagement rings.

Interesting story. I do see the heart with an arrow mark beside the word Sterling so it could probably well be a Kiddie Gem ring. Cool! Thanks for the story!

Yeah! There are still so much stuff in the old parks here despite being hunted for decades.
