ARTIFACT:
This is a very rare 10K gold graduation ring from the FBI National Academy dating from 1949. On one side of the ring is a Fascia; the symbol of law and authority, above the number 19. On the other is the Department of Justice Eagle above the number 49. I wish this ring could talk, but it's original owner's name and story are lost to time. This ring came from a man whose father used to run a dump in the North Shore of Massachusetts. It was found by him and kept for years until he passed away. His son sold it to a picker of mine and here it is now available for sale.
