Wedding Ring

The ring with engraved date

This is my Dad's wedding ring. It was passed down from my Great Grandpa Hy. He grew up in a tenement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He had a rough childhood. His family was poor so he had to leave school early to get a job. My middle name is Hannah and that's named after him (also named after my Great Grandpa Harry). His parents immigrated from Russia and came through Ellis Island. Here's a fun fact-the ring is engraved with the date September 17th 1943 but nobody in my family knows why it's special.  

Place(s): Lower East Side
Year: 1903
