Retirement funding

18a These antique celuloid rings are pretty awesome, but what's more awesome is that they were made my a 90 year old man! Bob has been making these rings since 1937, which to me seems like a million years.

Each ring is hand crafted from 20-150 different pieces of celuloid from all sorts of gathered items, like toothbrushes or handmirrors or piano keys. The intricate designs are stunning, and each ring takes about a day to make.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to figure out what I'll be doing when I'm 90.

If you believe that styles repeat every year that means he's been able to see these come and go three times.

I meant every 20 years!

Sheesh.
