Item Description
This scarce ring from Wheaties in 1940 was titled “Jack Armstrong Dragon’s Eye Ring.” It is essentially designed like a Buck Rogers ring titled the “Ring Of Saturn.” White plastic bands are designed as crocodiles with open jaws. Ring top has a raised very dark emerald green simulated oval stone. When glowing in the dark, this plastic stone becomes the “Dragon’s Eye” as it does not glow while the rest of the ring does glow. These stones are quite subject to disintegration over time but this is a gorgeous example displaying almost black at the center but rich emerald green around the edges and with no internal cracking or crazing. The only mark on the bands is a small 1/16” line a little gray in color, apparently where the ring base came off the casting sprue. N. Mint and rarely found this nice. Glows intensely.
