This ring was given by Ralston and made by Robbins in 1946. On the premium version that was distributed each side of the ring has "TM" initials. On this ring the sides each have three chevrons with a five-point star above. The top of the ring is the same as that issued and features a pair of crossed six-guns and two stars. Two sides of this covering ring top have rectangular slots so that when held to the eye and viewed straight on the interior mirror will show objects at a 90° angle. Interior of the ring base carries the name of the maker "Robbins Co." and there is no possibility that this is a combination of the ring top as issued and the base with the star as the pair of tabs holding everything tightly together has never been tampered with since the day they were bent and sealed. This ring base was used as early as 1942 for the Captain Midnight Mystic-Eye Detector ring as well as similar rings produced for both the Lone Ranger and Little Orphan Annie. It is likely, that when Ralston wanted a premium ring for this 1946 year, Robbins provided this ring as a mock-up but in the end Ralston preferred a base with the "TM" initials as opposed to the generic star and chevron design. One side of the ring top has 1/8" hairline without luster but overall the piece has 99.8% Mint luster. The only example known to us and in our consignors collection since the 1970s. Rare and possibly unique. See Mix prototypes #1341 and 1343.
