Item Description
This is one of the rarest Buck Rogers premiums and it was first issued by Cream Of Wheat, 1936. That version had "Wilma" on the front panel with her signature on the reverse. This piece is the equally rare newspaper premium offered 1940-1942 without her name and signature. The brass piece is 1" diameter with loop at top. The reverse reads "To My Pal In The Solar Scouts." Complete with original chain as issued. The Buck Rogers 1936 manual mentions the pendant's star and crescent moon design flanking Wilma's portrait as representing the good luck symbol of the Solar Scouts. About 25% bright luster off the reverse but front retains 98% glossy Mint luster. The chain is also Mint.
