Any input on this makers mark? EDIT

Found a ring today in the freshwater, looks old. It is heavily tarnished so I suspect it has a thick gold shell on it, it passes as 14k. I feel solid 14k probably would have been alot easier to get clean. A brief google search showed Ostby and Barton, but I dont think that is accurate. Thanks in advance!
EDIT
After more cleaning last night, I noticed a small spot on the edge of the ring that was starting to peel back. So looks like it has a heavy 14k shell on it. On to the next!

14k can tarnish badly in freshwater with algae and high iron. I would suspect it is solid 14k as long as it isn't flaking. Congrats!

I don't see any flaking or red spots where the plating is missing. Ive found a few gold rings that were tarnished in the past, I dont ever remember it being this hard to get them clean, but I suppose it's possible. The weight feels off to me, it rang up as a 23 on the equinox out of the water, seemed a little high for my liking. Thanks for looking!

I think Ostby & Barton is correct. Check out these links:

It is certainly a possibility. This ring also has a heavy shell. After some more cleaning, it is starting to peel away in one spot on the edge. Hoping the next one is solid! Thank you for your time once again Chroma!

Could be rolled gold over silver... could be... I have found old rings marked good then found out they were gold over silver.

I think your right, it looks silver underneath, would explain why the numbers were so high too. Definitely a white metal underneath, so that rules out brass...
