Item Description
This 1937 adjustable band brass ring came from Post's Bran flakes and was used for two different radio show promotions. Originally the top scarab design was in green enamel paint now totally gone. However, ring still displays with very nice, clean brass finish. The band is designed as a pair of entwined snakes who flank each side of the scarab. In the fifth edition of the Hake guide a near mint example guides at $1,600.00. This example which still displays very nicely opens a mere fraction of that price.
