Anyone out there have some of those vintage mexican souvenir (biker) rings from the 30's/40's? Part of the fun of collecting them is seeing the variety of styles they used. It would be great to see what everyone has. When I get access to a cam, I'll post mine.
If you wanna sell any that you own, send me a pm!
That's a shame, no one here has a few of these cool rings? I still haven't gotten a camera to post mine yet. Hopefully someone out there has some to post!
This is something new. Anxious to find out what you are talking about.

Or What Are you Wearing Today?This may not be the place to ask, but I'll give it a shot. I have a ring that was passed down to me when my grandfather passed away. It's stupid of me not to ask questions while he was alive. All I know is that he was so proud of this ring and wore it everyday till the day he died. His background: He was an Electrical Engineer graduate of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the early 30's. Could it be some kind of class ring? Fraternity ring? I don't know. I thought anyone might have seen something similar. The ring is in 18K Yellow Gold, but the cameo itself is not gold but of a different material like alabaster. Thanks.

Yup, the bottom 3 skulls are perfect examples. Thanks Dinerman.
Just picked this one up from an Ebay seller. An inexpensive repro but definitely does the job.

Nice one flat-top, that seller has been selling those like hot cakes. Is it just as nice in person?
Yeah, worth the $$ for sure!

Not sure if it's a true biker ring, but from Mexico, old aztec calendar. Had thing since forever, before it properly fit my finger.
Douglas was pear shaped, very short and stood the whole way!! Monster a Go-Go

That aztec calender was definitely made in the 30's/40's - nice example.
