Ran across mine the other day while helping my wife look for a piece of jewelry she'd thought she'd lost. Tried it on, and my little finger was the only one it would go on. Never wore it much. Same way with my wedding band. Used to do a lot of riding horses and roping about ten years after I was married, and heard about a guy who'd had a rope catch on his wedding band, and when it tightened up, the ring cut his finger off. Wife told me to quit wearing mine, so haven't worn it since.

Thought I lost it in high school. Having dinner at my then girlfriend's house and when we sat down there was a clatter and she picked it up from under her chair.

Sitting in a wooden box on my dresser. It is keeping company with my wedding band (another ring that shrunk over time).

I can't remember what mine cost? In the fall of 60 likely not much, but real change at the time.

Thanks for all the replies good men.

I ran across mine a while back. I haven't seen it in the 40 years since then, though.

Girlfriend ended up with my ring, I think she still might have it. In our school lettermans jackets were scarce. FFA jackets ruled our school back then.

Mine was apparently stolen from the bedroom jewelry box by some kids visiting at our home. It’s the only explanation that I have, for it’s disappearance! Pretty bummed-out about it. It was the only thing that I had from 12 years attending the same school. I had a yearbook....but, it was stolen from my locker at school! The ring was my only connection to my school. memtb

I have mine from high school and college. The HS ring is too small and the college ring won’t fit in the summer but will in winter when my fingers seem to shrink.

Left home, school, and made my own way, as best I could. If anybody ever offers a "Low Class Ring", I will proudly wear it.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I'm pretty sure a crazy ex gf stole it. I had some left over stuff in a drawer from HS. One was a picture of my wife and I on grad night at Disneyland and she tore it in half. She was gorgeous and a body like you wouldn't believe but was batshit crazy.

I never got one. My folks said I could get a ring, or have that ammount of money to do with as I pleased. I bought traps.

Never got one. Thought it was a waste of $$$. Took that $$$ and used it to cover expenses for almost 6 months of camping in the CO rockies after I graduated and then it was off to USN boot camp. Never missed the ring.

No ring or jacket. Always thought you’d have to be light in the loafers to rock them.
