Item Description
This 1937 adjustable bands brass ring came from Post's Bran Flakes and was used for two different radio show promotions. The band is designed as a pair of entwined snakes who flank each side of the scarab. Very tiny loss of the green paint from the scarab's back and about 98% complete. In the sixth edition of the Hake guide a N. Mint example guides at $1,750. This is N. Mint with most luster on the figural snake bands. Rarely offered. Consignor set low opening bid.
