Lore,,yes,, thats yours. Those I'm pretty sure from early 50s 'Mens Magazines,, 'Popular science' , 'Field & Stream',Popular Mechanics' etc.

Most of the advertisements were from directly after the war, into the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc... Service men brought them home and civilians saw them and wanted them too! My Great Uncle brought home rings from WWII and always wore a skull or a ring from one of his campaigns , Roma, Anzio, etc.

Bentens pattern is old,a pre war pattern,,usually a alloy with a silver plating during the war.. It too very popular directly postwar and still even today!!
