Has anyone else noticed that June wears a weding ring but Ward does not? What do you think about this?

Many husbands don't wear a ring.

maybe in the 50's and 60's it was considered "girly" to wear a weding ring. I DON"T KNOW!

Great observation! Never noticed that Ward never wears a wedding ring! Maybe he left it at the office. Lol!

I think I noticed that alot of men from that era didn't wear wedding rings and I don't think they considered it girly,it's just something that was.

I think it was just prefernce. Ricky Ricardo wore a ring in the earlier episodes and then later he wore it around his neck with a chain and the St. Christoper medal.

I guess so! I don't really wear rings, but I am not married lol. I could see how you would think that though.

Most men did wear wedding rings back then, but a lot of them would not wear them when they were working or had their hands in something that could make the ring come off,get damaged etc.....I also read that some actors would not wear their wedding rings onscreen out of respect for their real life wives. I think someone said that Carroll O'Connor wore his real wedding ring on his middle finger while playing Archie Bunker.
