Re: High School ring found at USSAF airbase
The letters look similar to the University of Notre Dame's overlapping design, but that is not Notre Dame's crest. I'm sure in the HJ10K the "10K" portion means 10 karat gold. Josten's is a hugh class ring company here in the states. I believe they were founded in the early 1930's, so maybe the "J" stands for Josten's. It's a longshot but a start. Good Luck!

Could it be from a North Dakota college? Just thinking out loud. was the base still in use by US forces after 1948?

This was my thinking also.
The crest will be the way to find the university/college/school that it came from.
It is not a 'Josten' product though, as they use their entire name, no initials......

anybody think the number 48 could be a number held on a sports team, football,softball ect,ect ? that might help narrow it down some.

Sad tha Herff Jones won't help out. I would think that someone in that company could identify the symbol on the front and place it to a school-
Herff Jones was the company that made my school ring back in the 70's also. I still have it somewhere.

Yeah, thats what I thought!
If I can just identify that crest, then I'm 75% there! This is undoubtedly the hardest part. Once I know the college/university, then all I need to do is cross reference the graduates from 1948, with the initials on the ring, then compare the results to the military enlistment records.
