I found a class ring at a local thrift store. It was marked Jostens Dura-tone and nothing else. I couldn't find anything on the internet other than it was a alloy of silver and gold. I acid tested it and it did not eat through the 10k. Does anybody know anything about Dura-tone?

In my notes I have Josten's Duel Cast listed as; 10K on top of Lustrium
But nothing on Dura-Tone. It looks like it is older from the 30's?
If you are scrapping it you will have to file into it to see for sure.

It is probably plated because it was introduced during the depression, and even in the 40's I doubt many people had money to buy expensive class rings. Those fancy names are usually to trick people, if it was 10K it would be marked just that.
