I've had this ring for about eight years.I had been seeing a guy in a heavy metal band *leaving the name of the band out on purpose so the ass-wipe can't google and possibly find this post and me*
Thanks Jane, for that nick name "ass-wipe"!
Anyway, his band was playing at the annual Keep it True Festival at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen Germany. On one of his walks, he stopped at a fountain in one of the public squares. As he looked down, he saw this ring.
When he gave it to me, I immediately knew I had to try to find the owner. I wasn't on line much and didn't have my blog so I really didn't know where to begin. I put it with my other jewelry and unfortunately I forgot all about it.
I came across it the other day and decided I'd start by writing it's history with me. I hope this story somehow makes its way back to the attention of the owner.
It's a thin plain gold band. Simple. Beautifully engraved in old English script are the initials " _ _ to _ _ " with the date "June 2, 1906". NINETEEN OH SIX! See why it has to go back to who ever was wearing it? It must belong to someones grandmother or great grandmother.
The ring is so light the gold value is minimal but the sentimental value, priceless.
I've left the initials out of this post so the rightful owner can truly identify the ring. I'll tag this post with a few key words in hopes the owner is lead to this post. If you're inclined and wish to take a long shot, link me!

Ok. I have cousins in Germany. I'll bite and have him post this too. It's gonna happen.
You're so very welcome for the term "ass wipe" my dear! Was it that, or... buttmunch? I can't recall! LOL
I truly hope that you find the original owner. The sentimental value has to be immeasurable.
I love your blogs and I love you my friend. <3

Sherry, I'd like to think there is a romantic story behind this ring =)

Richard, Thank you! Wouldn't it be something to find the rightful owner!
Maybe it is a love story..or maybe an upset wife who threw it away? LOL
