Item Description
Rare ring offered very briefly by Quaker Cereals in the summer of 1941 w/expiration date of 8/30/41 and promotional text in ads instruct to order “Before Orphan Annie Comes Back On The Air Next Fall.” Ring has “SG” initials on each side while top has her portrait covered by a small magnifying glass in a brass frame which has a pin on upper edge so the frame could be turned to the side to use for magnification. Superb condition displaying totally Mint and with just about 1% luster loss under magnification. A scarce ring truly rare in this brilliant NM condition. The Hake Guide value is $2,250 and our last example five years ago almost this nice exceeded $2,000.
