Additional Description

General

Ring with Rice Institute academic seal and owls on each side. Previous descriptions say this item is an 18k white gold 1924 class ring. The Rice class ring was not standardized until 1927, so it is probable that this is indeed a class ring. There is no class year indicated on the ring. There are no other identifying marks engraved inside the ring band. This item is from the estate of Rotzien Harlan Eberly, class of 1924 and is located within a box identified as such.
