Item Description
One of two designs from 1941 produced by Ostby & Barton of Rhode Island and used by dairies participating in the Superman Defense Club milk program. Ring top features various initials of milk company sponsor, in this case a letter "W" which is one of only two known to us of this variety. Other initials we have seen are: A, B ,E, M and R. Below the initial is a diagonal lightning bolt and below that an eyeball surrounded by accent lines. The brass plate snaps off from the base and the underside of the snap-off piece holds a paper sticker picturing and reading "Superman." Sticker has minor trace of wear, mostly along edges. Image is strong and distinct. Ring has scattered light trace of luster wear but much full bright luster remains and this remains an exceptional example of a coveted Superman premium, with far fewer examples in existence than there are copies of Action Comics #1. Overall Exc.
