Came across these old documents referencing Omaha Horse & Mule Commission Co, Lockheed Vega Engineering Blueprints, etc. Is this real?

The Omaha Horse & Mule Commission Co. I believe the owner's (M J Bud Smith) father Thomas W. Smith was writing an autobiography on the backs of these pages.

He talks about being a warden for the Nebraska State Prison, being appointed Chairman of the Council of Defense, livestock trading prices, all sorts of stuff.

Me and my son had a great deal of fun reading through all of these last night, but i couldnt find much I formation on this Thomas guy online. Can anyone shed some light on what we might have here?

Also included some Lockheed Vega documents & blueprints, a really cool lease agreement from 1943, & some telegrams. Where can we take these to have someone check them out and tell us more?

Cleaned out an abandoned storage unit & found this ring. No idea what it is though. No stamps or markings anywhere.

I come across a little bit of jewelry here and there, but its definitely not my area of expertise. This ring was in the bottom of a box of clothes, clearly not meant to be there. It's really pretty, but what stuck out to me is the way the gems are set.

I cant find a marking or stamp anywhere on this ring, which I usually find pretty easily. But even using google lens im getting no results that look identical to the one in my hand.

Any help is appreciated!
