Item Description
Quaker cereals took over sponsorship of Radio Orphan Annie from Ovaltine in 1941 and offered this ring very briefly on the Sunday comic pages during the summer with an expiration date of 8/30/41 and text telling readers to order "Before Orphan Annie Comes Back On The Air Next Fall". Ring has club initials "SG" on each side while the top has her raised portrait covered by a small magnifying glass in  a brass frame held by a rivet on the upper edge so that it can be swiveled. The ring base retains about half its brass luster but the image of Annie and surrounding circle is still extremely bright with the majority of luster remaining. Overall a Fine example of a scarce and briefly offered ring.
