This ring design was used as a 1936 Cream of Wheat and newspaper premium. Within the Buck Rogers Club literature, the ring is known not only as the “Repeller Ray Ring” but also as the “Supreme Inner Circle Ring.” Side panels each have tiny star accent and text “Buck Rogers Solar Scouts.” Ring top depicts Buck in his rocketship with arm raised holding a rocket pistol. He is surrounded by 5 tiny star accents and on the right is a partial image of a cratered moon with 4 accent lines emanating from it. The standard issue ring sent to club members contains an emerald green faceted stone set into the side of the rocketship. However, we've sold one other red stone example (over $2,500.00)from the estate of Rick Yager, the artist and later both artist and writer of the Buck Rogers comic strip. The ring maker created this personally for Yager, to honor his exulted position in the “Supreme Inner Circle” of the club, using a ruby color faceted stone. That example, as with this example, when viewed microscopically, has a hairline of some type of clear fixative securing the stone into its recessed setting as we've seen to varying degrees on rings with green stones. Quite possibly this ring was also created for some person with an official relationship to the strip or radio program. Small luster loss from raised image, outer circle and lower bands. Overall, VF. One of two known.
