Item Description
One of two designs produced by Ostby & Barton of Rhode Island in 1941 and offered as a premium for the "Superman Defense Club" dairy program, costing two bottle caps and 10¢. This ring was produced in two distinct versions; one w/Superman paper sticker on underside of removable top and no Superman image on the top of the ring (see previous item) and the variety offered here, w/raised Superman image on the snap off ring top. Superman is shown from the waist up, breaking chains w/diagonal lightning bolt above his image and "S" letter on the upper left of the snap-on/off ring top.  Sides of ring show a star and planet. Ring bands are nicely formed w/o noticeable bends. While most luster flashing is now gone, the surfaces retain a gorgeous, gleaming brass tone all over, and as such, the ring displays beautifully w/NM appearance. Only about a dozen examples of this ring variety w/Superman shown on the top plate are known to exist. A rare and seldom offered Superman premium ring.
