Item Description
In the world of premium rings, this is one of the most unusual lots we have ever offered. Each brass ring top has highly embossed portrait of Tracy surrounded by good luck symbols. Each top is 3/8x9/16" and each is with Mint luster. This is quite a scarce ring and it was issued by Quaker in February of 1938. The Dick Tracy collectibles book by Larry Doucet specifies the name of this ring as the "Secret Ring Of Osiris." A fascinating group that could turn 27 topless rings into salable items.
