Item Description
4.5" long mailing envelope is missing address area of the sticker but rest is Exc. Has NYC return address from Clapp's Baby Foods. Holds a 3.5" tall greeting card with front inscribed "For Baby" and with a heart shaped cut-out next to the baby's face displaying a single piece, very narrow circular brass ring which barely fits on our ring sizer as a size 1. Text on card interior at left reads "Guaranteed To Be A Real Gold Ring Made Of 10 Karat Natural Gold, Conforming To The National Stamping Act." Text on right below the ring reads "This Little Ring Of 10 Kt. Gold With Its Pattern Of Tiny Forget-Me-Nots, Is Exactly Like The Ring Mother Morrison Has Given To Celeste's Baby In 'Mother O'Mine.' It Comes To Your Baby With Best Wishes From The Makers Of Clapp's Baby Foods." This program was a serial drama with Agnes Young as Mother Morrison. It ran on CBS on Saturday's at 5:30 PM from September 30, 1940 through July 11, 1941. Only example we've seen and essentially Mint as a small dust smudge on the card front has nearly all come off.
