Item Description
There is a small rocket siren ring and this large version, also in white metal, has the same size non-adjustable thin metal ring base, but the rocket itself is nearly double the size. This rocket is 1-5/8" long and the siren end is 11/16" diameter. One side has the inscription as quoted while the opposite side has "Japan." The rocket has six small oval cut-outs on the nose tip, six cut-out porthole windows on the main body and below on one side is a cut-out lightning bolt design. On the tail end is a large whistle siren that blows easily and extremely loud. Pitch can be controlled much like a kazoo. Most of the bright silver luster is gone so metal is dark in color but a very impressive and very neat ring. We sold this same exact ring in Nov. 2000 and this is the only example known to us. An iconic object from the early 1950s era reflecting America's pop culture obsession with space exploration.
