Re: Rings

Origins West Germany.     Circa 1940 - 1960's     Brass If these were gold plated they would be stamped.

FYI: Copper- Zinc - Tin alloy makes up brass. It is possible these would eventually turn your fingers green if worn constantly.

The first 2 rings I would date to the 1940 - 1950's and the last one to the 1960's

Est Value: $40 - $65 US Each. I would insure them under your house contents insurance for a total of $300 US on all 3 pieces. The frog is my favourite ... 

Thanks for sharing these interesting rings. Please leave me some feedback on my valuation. 

Peace Always
