I used to deal exclusively in sterling silver napkin rings when I did shows (Round Top, Dallas Tower Show).  I recently uncovered a stash of rings and am listing all at close to melt prices.  Please see my other items -- combined actual shipping always applies.  

This is an unusual ring.  Marked on the end "Hardy Bros / Sydney & Brisbane", it has London, England silver hallmarks for 1899.  The maker is named Hardy.  No doubt a family affair.  I think perhaps the abbreviation BPRC may be for a military regiment.  This is also a very unusually heavy napkin ring.

Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles.  On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.

The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge.  If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
