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 1930s ring has the same base as the Orphan Annie Mystic Eye Ring and the Lone Ranger National Defenders Ring. Like those, this has a compartment on the top containing a mirror and the ring is used by looking into a small slot on the front edge and then whatever is at the far right can be seen on the interior mirror. Ring top reads "Secret Agent" with a pair of star accents.  One of just two known examples, we believe both came from the Robbins Co. in-house group of items that came into the collectors market in the 1970s. The Robbins name appears on the interior of the ring base. Ring has trivial wear only seen under magnification. Near full bright luster. High grade, NM. A true ring rarity. Robert M. Overstreet Ring Collection.
