Item Description
This 1930's ring is all brass and without an adjustable band. Top has high relief lion's head with detailing in brass representing his mane. There are two small green accents for his eyes and in his open mouth is an inset ruby red faceted stone. Glossy luster if it had any is gone but all surfaces are a clean brass tone and the ring displays Exc. This design is similar to the rare 1935 premium issued for Clyde Beatty by Quaker Wheat Crackles. However, that ring has adjustable bands and there is no jewel or color accent in the eyes or mouth. Likely the ring we are offering came from the novelty firm Johnson & Smith. Scarce and very attractive.
