Item Description
This large and scarce ring from the early 1950s was meant to be used with a battery which would cause Howdy's high relief plastic face to light. This piece consists of Howdy's face mounted on the correct brass ring base as it came from the manufacturing factory with the only thing missing being the interior light bulb, a wire that runs from it to a contact tab and the battery itself. Each side of the brass ring base has small image of Clarabell. An exceptional example, the lack of the black wire is more than made up for by the essentially Mint condition.
