A nice ring.. But I believe its postwar. Old, just not WWII old.. Probably 50s, 60s.

I've seen what I would call an authentic example of this recently. The one I saw was definitely pressed. It was at a fancy antique store in NYC. The owner said its a late 1800s Memento mori ring!!! I was discussing it with him and told him I thought it was 1920s, 1930s.. He said 'Whats the difference,,its what ever I want it to be,,am I buying it!'
He wanted a small fortune for the ring. Next time I'm in the city I'll take some photos of it...

These are good pattern rings. Just one of the harder patterns to find. But thats starting to happen to all authentic rings!

An advert from a prewar catalog. It's not exactly the same,,but close...
