Post by: Chef Geoff on October 20, 2011, 07:25:18 PM A brilliant find Colin, going by the sentiment I think it's more likely a poesy ring rather than a mourning ring as the death is referred to in the future tense rather than the past. My take on the marks would be 1792 (just to be awkward lol) but I think the I.V makers mark may be the clue.
