Item Description
First is the adjustable brass ring from 1935 offered to club members. Top has Ralston checkerboard logo, big "TM" initials and border reading "Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters". Sides show steer head and six-gun. Gorgeous luster and NM. The Mint mate is a rarely seen prototype or production proofing specimen that has only the "TM" over the checkerboard logo. There is no text on the ring top and no steer or six-gun on the sides. One of only two examples known to us. Next is the 1949 Ralston premium known as the Musical Ring which features an aluminum whistle on top with a sliding tube that changes the pitch. The ring members received has the "TM" brand and checkerboard design on each side. NM. The variety has no brand or checkerboard. This has some brass luster loss from the base  and one side of tube has spot of silver luster off with tiny white corrosion mark. Still Fine and again only the second example known to us.
