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.
This ring was offered briefly during the 1934 introductory year of the Popular Publications pulp titled Secret Service Operator #5. The pulp ran for 48 issues from April 1934 to Nov. 1939. Metal w/non-adjustable band that has silver luster while top is stark black and white enamel w/skull that has a "5" on forehead. Inner band has symbol of the ring maker Uncas. It does not say "Made In U.S.A." which was added to rings intended for Canadian distribution. Some black enamel chipping at top/bottom left corners seen upon magnification. Scattered trace of silver luster loss, more so on back of band, but much remains elsewhere. Still a solid Fine example of a rare and sought after ring. Robert M. Overstreet Ring Collection.
