Look at the underside of the truck and see what manufacturer it is. Probably either Tootsietoy or Midgetoy.

When did jewelers start using 925 instead of sterling.

That ring almost looks like a Native American design. Cool finds! I don't remember the exact year but I believe it was prior to 1950's that American jewelry makers started using 925.

Very handsome ring! Congrats! :occasion18::blob9::blob9::blob9::occasion18: Also like your weathered truck. One of my fave finds is my bashed-up metal petrol (gas) truck made in England in late 30's - mid-40's. My truck looks beat-up from every angle but I love it. Mine still has most of its red paint. Have Fun! :icon_thumright: Andi
