    This is the famous gangster ring used by Torrio it was said he used this ring while punishing his rival enemies. This ring is silver and has his name made in the 1920's in mexico. He had a set of these rings i only have one of them. This ring he wore on his pinky i got this from one of his grandchildren. Torrio was the gangster who was the boss of Al Capone at a time he made the scare on Al Capone's face with a razor.

      I expect that ring would leave a very nice dent on someone's forehead. The provenance is quite interesting.
