HOLLYWOOD TRADING COMPANY MEXICAN SOUVENIR RINGS

Here's a fantastic photo of Zip Stevenson's dapperly dressed father-in-law sporting a Mexican souvenir skull ring, circa late 1940's.  You don't see photos like this too often, so it's always a treat when they surface - thanks Mr. Stevenson.



Zip's signature model of this ring, the "Knockout" under his Hollywood Trading Company (HTC) brand.

One if Zip's personal rings with the same body and worn Indian head. It takes years for wear like this to develop.  I think it's safe to say that this one was truly enjoyed by its previous owner(s) over the decades.

Just a few more from the HTC Mexican souvenir ring series.
