Item Description
PLEASE NOTE - RING CONDITION IS AS DESCRIBED. WHAT YOU SEE IN OUR PHOTO (ESPECIALLY IF ENLARGED) IS NOT WHAT IS SEEN BY THE NAKED EYE. THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE AMPLIFIES EVEN THE MOST MINOR IMPERFECTION. LOOKING AT THE ITEM IN PERSON AND UNDER NORMAL VIEWING CONDITIONS, LITTLE TO NONE OF THIS IS EVIDENT. WHEN WE GIVE A RING LIKE THIS A HIGH GRADE, THAT IS THE ACCURATE GRADE AND A MORE TRUE ACCOUNT OF THE ITEM AS SEEN IN THE CATALOG PHOTO.
One of two designs produced by Ostby & Barton of Rhode Island in 1941 and issued by dairies participating in the Superman Defense Club milk program. Top of ring features milk company initial "D" at upper left w/diagonal lightning bolt separating it from eyeball design at lower right. Brass plate on top of ring snaps off from base and underside holds a paper sticker featuring classic image of Superman breaking chains below "Superman" comic title/logo. There are two tiny marks on "Superman" name and Superman's chest area has aged w/barely visible spot of wear above "S" chest symbol which is barely noticeable unless magnified but has been mentioned for accuracy's sake. Image remains VF overall. In our 53 years we've offered only a few examples w/this paper image in such high grade condition. Ring itself retains much bright reflective brass luster, w/just a few small spots of tarnish to side edges of brass cover and underside of ring base. Ring is o/w Exc. Over the past 20 years we've seen these initials (followed by the number we've seen of each) - A-1, B-4, E-1, M-2, R-1 and W-1; this being the first example of the "D" initial variety we've ever offered.
