Item Description
This ring was issued in 1941 by Kellogg's All-Rye Flakes and saw extremely limited distribution only in California. The ring is brass with adjustable bands and features Viking sailing ship on each side. Top has Valric wearing a winged helmet along with a tiny brass rivet that holds a small magnifying glass in a brass frame. A small pin on the bottom edge of the ring top allows the magnifying glass to be locked into position thereby magnifying Valric's portrait or the magnifying glass can be swung to the side for use in magnifying other objects. Tiny bit of luster loss barely detectable to the naked eye on the raised brass circle that holds the magnifying glass. A beautiful brilliant luster ring about 99% Mint. One of the rarest and most desirable premium rings and this is the only example known to us. Also see following extreme ring rarity.
