davidcyclebackMy opinion was the same as Dan's, that the ring's style is modern.
If the ring is 14K gold, as the seller claims, it wouldn't be some bubblegum machine or stadium fan giveaway. They wouldn't use gold for any of those types of things. They'd probably be brass or such. It's plausible that if it's 14k gold, that it was a modern commerorative/reunion ring given to living players or attending family members. Stahl died early, so I doubt he received it personally-- but a relative could have received it.
I tend to believe that, barring forgery, if the ring is genuine gold that is strong evidence it was used for some special purpose, such as given out by the Red Sox team.
