This ring advertised in the Santa Ana Register on September 28, 1937 was a pretty good deal for a young couple.
Let's say the groom drives a truck for an orange rancher and his fiancee sorts oranges at a packinghouse. He's not going to buy her a Richard Burton-Elizabeth Taylor rock in the middle of the Great Depression.
Still, that is a low, low price .. and she’ll love it just the same!
