Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

This 9ct gold ring was assayed at Chester in 1927. The maker's were Eaton & Wrighton (Frederick Henry Eaton and Ernest Wrighton), of 33, Tenby Street, Birmingham.

Thank you for your swift response.
I can't find out much about the maker, is rare or just a bog standard ring?

The ring is of traditional shape for a gent's signet ring, it appear's to be of a good weight and in good condition. No, not rare, but with every passing day they become rarer.

They're not super rare but it's still a nice ring though.
