THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM ~ RECOVERED ALONG SMOKETOWN ROAD NEAR THE EAST WOODS (the area of recovery is circled on the map) ~ Vintage Toy Lone Ranger Roy Rogers Adjustable Brass Ring Western Cowboy ~ This late 1940s or early 1950s Brass, adjustable size ring was recovered on the Antietam Battlefield along Smoketown Road. While obviously not from the Battle, it is an interesting battlefield find probably lost by a youngster on a Battlefield tour. The third image shows the Sterling Silver version for illustrative purposes and is not part of the listing. Various companies included Roy Rogers items as free premiums like Quaker Oats and different cereals. Perhaps this was one of the items included in food boxes in the late 1940s or early 1950s. I'm not sure if this is the predecessor or copies of the quite valuable and identical Sterling silver Roy Rogers rings on the market, purportedly made by Uncas with their letter "U" and arrow design logo also on the inner band. The Sterling variety also have outer bands with six-shooter revolver design on each side and the top center has a cowboy on a rearing horse with the facsimile autograph below "Roy Rogers." This brass ring may have been plated at one time, but has the adjustable band, and does not have the Roy Rogers signature in the empty field under the horse. A really neat piece, probably lost about 80 to 90 years after the Battle of Antietam on the Battlefield of Antietam. This great Roy Rogers type Cowboy ring was recovered in the early 1970s from a farm along the Smoketown Road, very close to the East Woods (private property at the time, with permission). Major General Joseph Mansfield's XII Corps moved up the Smoketown Road on the morning of the battle and entered the East Woods. Mansfield was killed during this advance. A provenance letter with the digger's name (he is living) will be included. We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information. All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
