Item Description
This scarce ring from Wheaties in 1940 was titled “Jack Armstrong Dragon’s Eye Ring.” It is essentially designed like a Buck Rogers ring titled the “Ring Of Saturn.” White plastic bands are designed as crocodiles with open jaws. Ring top has a raised very dark emerald green plastic oval stone which has areas showing bright emerald green in certain light angles. When glowing in the dark, this plastic stone becomes the “Dragon’s Eye” as it does not glow while the rest of the ring does glow. Bottom of one band has tiny gray mark, as typical, where ring came off the casting sprue. Included is rarely seen 2.25x3x1" deep cardboard box. One end flap off but present. Dark tan color, as is the "Jack Armstrong" mailing label but no stain marks. A dragon partially shows on left top and side edges but a bit incomplete image due to the narrow gap between lid and side panel. Only mailing box example we can recall seeing. See items #1140-1141.
