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 rare ring was offered by General Mills' Kix cereal as a bounce-back offer w/Lone Ranger military rings in April 1942. General Mills recorded a minuscule 85 requests. Following that offer, the ring was also offered very briefly by Kellogg's, this time labeled as a 'gold ore' ring. Brass w/adjustable bands, sides of ring have an area w/design representing the surface of a meteor. Ring top has a metal rim w/clear, slightly domed celluloid cover over small rock pebbles representing pieces of a meteor. Back of band has luster loss. Rest of ring has nice bright luster w/just lt. wear. Overall VF.
A true ring/LR rarity, we have only offered a few in our 57 years. Robert M. Overstreet Ring Collection.
