this last post you show an advert for 'Premium Rings', or 'Mens Rings' and even 'Ice Cream' Rings... These ads usually will be seen in some of the mens magazines of the 1950s, 60s 70s , 'Popular Mechanics', Popular science, Argosy, even old 'Sears Roebuck and Wards catalogs under Mens Rings , [pre war and postwar]..

They are patterned after the ring we like to collect. Usually cheaply made, poor detail,,but some are rather nice. But nowhere like our rings we collect.

So close but no cigar as they say.. The DO have value,,and they have increased in value the last few years... I have recommended this book in the past for history and understanding of such rings. The value section is way out of date but still a great book to have and can usually be gotten for under $10!
