Item Description
This is the ring used for the photo in Hake's Pop Culture guide which assigns a N. Mint value of $6000.00. Frankly, given the rarity of this ring and the condition of this example, we feel that is a low estimate especially when compared to other rings, rare but seen more frequently, and reaching levels around $10,000.00. The ring base is identical to the Green Hornet Secret Compartment Ring. In fact the interior surface of the ring base is marked "©T.G.H. Inc." Exterior of the ring base displays on each side a cauldron with rising smoke plumes surrounding the intertwined initials "GH" at the center. The glow-in-dark plastic compartment (which glows intensely in the dark) is also the same as the Green Hornet ring except its interior has a dark blue coating with a smooth waxy feel to it. We don't know the purpose of this but it is original to the piece. A rivet holds the embossed brass cover and allows it to swing to either side. The brass has highly detailed image of a Knight from the Crusader era. He holds aloft a huge sword and the other hand displays a large shield with the word "League" above the letters divided into quadrants "S/H/A/P." Heart and cross symbols are also shown. Surrounding the image is large bold lettering "SEQUAR TE DOMINE" which translates to Follow The Lord. Only the most trivial traces of wear and we grade the piece 98% Mint, displaying Mint.
