“Every ring has its own story,” says Stephen Fantone ’74, who has collected 30 Brass Rats over the years. His collection includes rings from various sizes and alloys, including one customized ring with a small diamond set in its bezel and another with the class year listed as 1929—peculiar since the Brass Rat was first made available to the graduating class of 1930. But Fantone is no longer looking to add to this collection. Read why he’s donating some of his gold Brass Rats to be melted at the link in the bio. #mitalumni #massachusettsinstituteoftechnology #thisismit #brassrat
