So, I recently got into this whole thing about a “Frank Sheeran ring” being for sale. Sounds intriguing, right? I mean, who is Frank Sheeran, and why is his ring so special? I had to dig in.
First, I did some quick searching. Turns out, this Frank Sheeran guy was a big-time hitman for the mafia, and he was also mixed up with the Teamsters union. There’s even a movie about him, “The Irishman,” with Robert De Niro playing Sheeran. Apparently, the movie is based on a true story, or at least mostly true, according to some things I read. This movie was based on a biography book that was published in 2004. The book talks about the main character having a partnership with a jewelry store.
The ring itself? It’s not just any ring. This guy, Russell Bufalino, a big shot in the Bufalino crime family, had these rings custom-made. There were only three of them in the whole world. One for him, one for Angelo Bruno, some other mob boss, and one for Frank. They were made from an 1851 liberty coin. Sheeran’s the only Irishman who ever got one, which seems like a big deal in their world.
I started looking around for where this ring might be for sale. There are some websites talking about selling unique items with these kinds of stories behind them. You know, buy a piece, get a certificate, and then you can sell it later. Sounds like a fancy investment, I guess. But the exact place where the Frank Sheeran ring is being sold? That’s still a bit of a mystery. I couldn’t find a specific store or auction house with it listed. This kind of thing adds to the whole mystique, doesn’t it? I also find some information that there has a beautiful ring made from Topaz, looks great.
Here’s what I did step-by-step:
- Started with a basic search about Frank Sheeran and the ring.
- Read up on “The Irishman” movie and the real-life story it’s based on.
- Learned about the significance of the ring and how it was made.
- Searched for places that sell unique items with historical stories.
- Came up empty-handed on finding the exact sale location but got more curious.
So, that’s where I’m at now. Still don’t know where the ring is being sold, but I’m kind of hooked on the story. It’s like a real-life mobster tale with a mystery piece of jewelry thrown in. I’m going to keep digging around. Who knows what else I’ll find? Maybe I’ll even figure out where that ring is hiding.
