Sterling Silver | Size 10
This one-of-a-kind ring features an authentic antique union button stamped with the words “Montana Limited,” a phrase closely associated with prestige, destination, and the golden age of American rail travel and labor.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, names like Montana Limited carried weight. They evoked distance, progress, and exclusivity—often referencing premier rail lines or routes that connected the American West to the rest of the country. For railroad workers, such language reflected pride in the routes they served and the skill required to keep long-distance travel moving safely and on schedule through rugged terrain.
Union buttons bearing route or line names were worn as markers of identity and experience. They quietly communicated belonging, seniority, and participation in an industry that helped shape the expansion of the American West.
This original button has been carefully preserved and hand-set into a solid .925 sterling silver ring, transforming a historic artifact into a wearable heirloom while honoring its original character. The ring is a size 10, offering a substantial, balanced presence ideal for collectors and statement jewelry wearers.
The warm patina, crisp lettering, and subtle surface wear are consistent with genuine age and authentic use. No restoration or artificial aging has been applied—this piece remains true to its history.
This ring is a true one-of-one collector artifact. Once sold, it cannot be recreated.
