-- Benten,, Have a similar ad but not dated.. 1906 has got to be the earliest I have seen for that pattern!.. The bands are most of the time the same finish. . Usually a silver wash or polished and its just the skull that gets either a silver wash or gilded... In the skull ring topic I'm pretty sure there are different band textures, finishes and different skulls..

Gymnastic and Bicycle rings,,,they sure had a ring for everything!

Well the ring went inexpensive, someone got a nice ring for a very good price..
