Ring-A-Day: Bronze Wishbone Ring
Make a wish and pull really hard. For you anatomists out there, the more appropriate name for this ring would be Fowl Collar Bone Ring. The turkey “wishbone” is more square than a chicken’s, but the common depiction is curvy. I’ve sold a lot of wishbones in pewter, so I know folks like the curvy ones. Iconography beats Thanksgiving tradition.

Ring-A-Day: Gramophone Ring
Shanghai Mermaid was last night. Trammell Hudson’s anachronistic pictures of the ‘historic’ event are beautiful to look at. I can almost hear scratchy LP recordings of the band — vinyl 78s of course!

Ring-A-Day: Hand Fan Ring
Dating from the 2nd century BC, and still just as useful and convenient as an umbrella today, some inventions were designed to have staying power. This folding hand fan will never end up on the Unitasker website.

Ring-A-Day: 9 Banded Armadillo Band
My favorite North American sticky-tongued insectivore was known as the Hoover Hog, or the poor man’s pork during the Great Depression. The germans called it the Panzerschwein, or armored pig. Just add guns and you’ve got a battle-dillo.
