Item Description
This item (and following item) came into the premium hobby in the late 1970s via a man who worked for Robbins Co. of Attleboro, MA, famed for producing various premiums. Offered here is a 1/8" thick piece of lead, measuring 1-5/8x1-7/8". It came from the Robbins factory and was produced by striking the die on a lead sheet so the design could be seen as flawless before production began on the 1939 Wheaties Jack Armstrong test premium decoder (which was never produced). Front of the piece has raised image in lead of the decoder. Back of the piece has a hand scratched production number "M5973." One-of-a-kind. Exc. Rare. This is the actual example shown in "The Official Price Guide To Pop Culture Memorabilia" by Ted Hake and comes with COA.
