I know we have all be googling at Shavefreak's magnificent 1906 engraved single ring - if you haven't you should!
If so you would have also seen the similar set from Quailrunner in his thread. Once again a magnificent set.
You may, however, have missed this thread from Tnsplayer with his un-engraved very early gold-plated Single Ring.
Well I've received a nice little package in the mail.
Hmm, the box is a little ordinary - why the excitement? Look at the slide clasp - that is gold plating not the normal silver. OK, have I got your attention? Want to have a look?
Not too fast there son, have a look at the base of the box - gold lettering and without the price ...
OK, here it is -
More gold printing on the ribbon not the usual silver. I think that this is a special set
Interesting blade boxes too!
I've not had a chance to clean her up yet but here she is ..
The serial number?
G306068. Given the use of the 'G' prefix for gold this puts this serial number into 1905 and the earliest example that I've seen of a 'quadruple' gold-plated single ring.
If only it had another ring!
