Most designs are different, but there are a few duplicates, and these included simulated jewels, lady bug, dragon and more. Box art includes finger wearing a ring. Die-cut lid is loose. Other lt. wear but VF. Contents are NM to Mint as issued. Rare and something very different for both gum and ring collectors. From the Bruce Weiner Collection/Phila. Gum Archives.
