Ring with open book. N. D
Possibly made by a prisoner or a sailor, this ring is not unique, but rare. The open book motif has the engraved initials "N" filled with red wax, and "D" filled with black wax, and two engraved five-pointed stars, with open centers, on each side of the book, filled with black wax. -- description by Mindell Dubansky in consultation with Lynn Heckman
