$300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

[Mulligans]

The ring in the photos belonged to Babe Ruth between between 1914 and 1929. He wore a few different rings during this time frame.

I have done a very short search (nothing on the internet) and came across something close in a book, but unfortunately the photo was too far away. I am actually fairly certain that it was the ring, because I never saw another photo with the double diamond style. I also did not see him wearing a ring while in uniform, so that might narrow the search down some.

The first person who emails me something conclusive gets the reward!

Good Luck and Thanks for all your help!

I've found about 10-12 decent ones at work with my buddy... this may be the best so far.

Couldn't post the picture, but here's the link to a shot. One probably needs to be zoomed in on, but I'm not sure how to do that.

What is the size, are you certain it isn't his wife's ring?

This image is from 1923 and to me, that looks like it could be the ring on her finger.

Not to be a jerk, but I'm not sure how you could "photomatch" a ring. Style match, possibly.

Maybe its my definition of a photomatch.

Anyway, good luck in your search.

I think we all just desperately want $300 - which would likely then be inserted back in the hobby for purchase of something game-used

Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

a ring that old looks very new, did it get restored or touched up?

Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

WOW....Thanks for all your help guys!

I still have 100's and 100's of photos to get through and the response has been incredible! So far Josh has come up with something very interesting. Does anyone technologically savy know how to enlarge something without the distortion?

Thats not to say that there aren't any better photos submitted...I just haven't gotten through them yet.

One thing I know with 100% certainty....This is Babe Ruth's ring and he did in fact wear it.

Here is a cool video:
