Do you still have this ring for sale ?
Yes I do still have This ring for sale. Are you interested?
Jeff
I am. Do you know around what period it was made. ? 70s I’m guessing?
Yes this ring was acquired by one of my wife’s family members in the middle 1970s straight from Bisbee Bob aka Robert Bradbury himself.

Bisbee Bob was quite a character and helped develop interest in Bisbee turquoise. The mine owners weren’t interested in turquoise, and Bob met with miners in the bars after work and bought their “lunch Box” turquoise. He has a small store in town where he sold it. He was eventually jailed for his activities, and the jewelry in his store all disappeared and nobody knows what happened to it.
I have a Bisbee Bob belt buckle
Are you sure that your ring isn’t Bisbee turquoise?
I have no idea really……I sold it to a lady in Maine.

I know this is late. Bob is my dad. Bob bradberry. We had our shop in the copper queen for years. His pieces are around the internet with his stamp & his permanent marker pricing on the back (sometimes). I found his pieces on etsy, ebay, etc. He was a crazy character. As for the stone i think i saw that answered already. Most ot the turq was from bisbee. We all made jewelry (mom & brother & me). Sadly not many photos on the net. Glad to see this post!
