This is the item used for the photo in the Hake Pop Culture guide for JAC-50. This piece, likely designed by Orin Armstrong, was produced by Robbins Co. for a General Mills Wheaties 1940 test premium with very few examples actually produced in brass and distributed. The text on this unique proof, created prior to producing the actual item, reads "Jack Armstrong/Lieutenant/Listening Squad/JA." The premium as produced consisted of a piece of brass in this design but folded in half and with a small hole below the star design so the piece could be used as a whistle. The lead plate is 1.5x2.75". The underside of the plate has lightly and neatly scratches company identification number of "M6686." This and the following two items are the final three lead proofs our consignor obtained decades ago which originated with a Robbins Co. employee. Mint as made. Unique. The Hake Guide value is $1,650. The item has a very conservative opening bid.
