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 first offered as a premium in the March, 1934 issue of The Spider pulp magazine by Popular Publications. Created in 1933 by Harry Steeger as direct competition to Street and Smith Publications vigilante hero the Shadow. The title ran for 118 issues from 1933 to 1943. Metal w/non-adjustable band that has silver luster while top is black and red enamel w/spider image. 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. Black enamel has some tiny edge nicks seen upon magnification. Much silver luster wear to back of band, rest of luster had moderate scattered wear but much remains. Still a solid Fine example of this scarce ring. Robert M. Overstreet Ring Collection.
