Item Description
Bright gold luster plastic ring with symbolic arrow designs on each side plus his name on the lower edges below the rounded top area meant to represent a gold nugget. One side of nugget has viewing hole and when held to the light there is a color image of the famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware by artist Emanuel Leutze. Only version we've seen (same ring as we sold in Auction #172) like this as typically the image is of a cave interior showing Straight Arrow with a bw photo of the child who ordered the ring or we've also seen versions with Straight Arrow along with his friend Packy and horse Fury. Likely very few produced with this patriotic painting scene. Rare and essentially mint.
