Children's ring

I haven't visited this site in almost forever, mostly due to the fact that my wife and I haven't detected much since we had kids (six years ago...). Very rarely do we find the time to get out and detect like we use to. Boy, those were the days. However, we still get out on occasion from time-to-time.

We come to you today in hopes in identifying this ring that the old lady found at her grandparent's farm. My wife's family (catlady or aundrea22 I think is what her old username was) has a bunch of land that's been in the family for shy of 150 years.. maybe 120. Not sure on that one. There have been 2 houses at this site that the family had had, but neither of them have been around for a long time. The first burned unintentionally, and the second was burned intentionally. The place that my wife found this at was the final house location that was last inhabited around 1950 (I think), so that may help at least date the ring. As you can see, it's an adjustable cheapy. I think the material is bronze or maybe copper.

Now that I've totally butchered the history, here are the pictures. If you can please help us, that would be great.

Thanks!

Take a look at this, might lead you in the right direction,,not sure. But crossed guns with star above and below is WW2,,might not be a kids rings at all and maybe once silver plated.
Are there any other markings,,at all??

I say it's a childrens ring because it's got the overlapping loop at the bottom to make it adjustable.
There are no markings on the inside of the ring, but on 2 sides of the top (the crossed guns) there are slots, or rectangular holes.

Thanks for the info! The link is blocked from work, so I'll take a look at it when I get home.
Thanks again,
Chris
 
Just found out this is a Tom Mix ring from the radio program Ralston Straight Shooters in the 30's - 40's
 
Well,it sure is,,,,,who figured it out??? lol

Here's a link to one with a description on how to look around corners with it.

Does your still work??? Looks like this one sold for $158.00,,and if you look at it,,,it is not in very good shape.

Not sure if it works. Looks like a pretty neat right. The one that's in that link is in great condition and it's got the flyer with it. Cool!

Monte Berry figured it out. He seems to know almost everything.
