    Made more than my gas which is no easy feat these days. Had a number of spills. 9 quarters and a dime, 4 quarters, 3 quarters and .69 cents. The highlight a 3.6 gram sterling silver ring. GF came home and stole the ring. This bear paw design seems to be Navajo.

    I believe that indicates the manufacturer. Don't know enough about that sort of stuff to tell you who the manufacturer is and when it's from though. Might be for the collar of a uniform or a cap like these. 20260518_213956.jpg 20260518_213931.jpg
