Research Assistance Requested: 1946 Montreal Royals Ring

[spacktrack]

We are in the process of researching a ring (pictured below) that has been in an advanced collection for decades, which honors the 1946 Montreal Royals team of the International League. Throughout the course of our research, we have found an image of a ring misidentified as having been issued to 1946 Royals AAA International League team members but which actually is a Montreal Royals Class C (Canadian-American league) ring for the “Governor’s Cup Champions” as opposed to for the “IL Champions” (Triple A International League Champions). Both Dodger affiliate teams were called the “Royals” thus creating some natural confusion. The 1946 Montreal Royals (International League) ring we are researching is gold and possesses a real diamond in the center. The 10k gold ring is stamped “BP&CO” on the inside of the band.

All of these early Royals rings are rare and research is all the more difficult without numerous examples available for comparison. We are soliciting input from the collecting community as we research this ring so we can do the best job possible in describing it and hope to perhaps even locate another example of a 1946 Montreal Royals International League ring. We would very much appreciate any information that anyone has that might be helpful. If anyone can be of assistance, please contact us at 908-226-9900 or via e-mail at info@robertedwardauctions.com. Thank you in advance for any helpful information!
