It has been gently hand polished and ultrasonic cleaned in a mild dish soap, and it has nice shine and is very clean. It is straight and round, not bent out of shape, has no personal monograms or engravings, with no major issues at all. Top features the design of a coat of arms that may be of heraldry or a fraternal origin, but upon research we are unable to determine what it means. As was typical of gold jewelry made in the early Art Deco era, this ring is not hallmarked with a metal purity, but is maker marked with a letter A and star shape, mark for historic and listed USA jewelry maker, Allsopp Bros. of Newark, New Jersey. It has been professionally XRF tested and confirms 10K gold and was measured with a ring mandrel at a US size 6.
