This is only the second example we've seen of this ring. In Hake's Pop Culture Memorabilia Guide we cataloged this item on page 220 as BRG-221.We titled it "Buck Rogers Profile Ring" and gave it the following description. "Issuer unknown. Brass base with black and white paper image under beveled edge plastic top. First example surfaced in late 1960's. No documentation known and possibly a fantasy creation, but uncommon." The one thing we didn't mention is that the underside ring base is a narrow circle of brass with expandable prongs. This is not the same ring as that shown in the book as the artwork on book example is positioned a little higher partially cutting off the rounded accent on the top of Buck's space helmet. The ring is in Exc. condition with nice luster and a totally clean portrait under the plastic top although this plastic top does not have the beveled edge like the example shown in our guide. In any case certainly a very fascinating Buck Rogers ring and the first we've seen in many years coming from an advanced collection of Buck Rogers items.
