It's a sport ring, or thumb ring. They were in common use for a few years in the mid-1930s, but the fad went away. They kept turning up on...
The German Eloxal (new word on me, btw, thanks) pieces I'm familiar with date to the 60s and into the 70s. If this is pre-War it's not that.
It still has its liner too. I'm almost surprised. If the kids, the dog and time in general didn't get them, the USPS gets its licks in.
And Bercrystal helped out. You took the unwanted bottles off of her hands. And that price?! G-O-N-E g'bye and down the road!
It wouldn't load for anyone for a good two days.

If it's aluminum I'd be thinking West Germany. They made a lot of aluminum costume in the 60s and sold it everywhere.
My kind of silverplate! Silver plated onto silver.
I'd think vase too. The mark looks like a 6 or a g; don't ask me which.
Is he Pope Paul VI, John XXIII or a different one? Us poor Protestants want to know.
It wouldn't surprise me. It does appear molded.
Modern pieces made for export generally use the sterling standard. The old ones from the 50s and earlier are a mixed bag. IIRC my mom's is .800 .
I didn't skip the cat. :cat::cat::cat: One does not skip cats.
No May about it. Those are loons. Ducks Unlimited was a retailer.
Seconded. Jerusalem cross, made in Israel if not Jerusalem. The center stone may or may not be real; they used both stones and glass early and...
