Hey guys! Can't thank you enough for all the input. Yesterday I took a wirebrush and found an H and J on the other side of the 1 1 13... Feels like I am uncovering a mystery, pretty cool.. I would share pictures but I can't seem to figure out how to upload :unsure:
To answer some questions, I am most likely going to try and sell it, considering I don't know the trade.. But if it doesn't get sold, I will keep it lol. I truly have no idea how it ended up in my grandfathers possession. And sorry Picker, I haven't taken a hammer to it, maybe I will tomorrow?.. But even if I did, I'm not sure I would be able to describe the "ring" lol.
Thanks again everyone!! Let me know if the HJ means anything to any of you
**** Figured out how to upload! woohoo
