Item Description
This 1937 adjustable band brass ring came from Post's Bran Flakes and was used for two different radio show promotions. Narrow 3/16" sliver of paint off scarab's back and hairline off bottom edge barely showing. The band is designed as a pair of entwined snakes who flank each side of the scarab. In the sixth edition of the Hake Guide a NM example guides at $1,750. This example is VF with much luster on the figural snake bands. Rarely offered.
