Item Description
This 1934 ring has her raised portrait on the top surrounded by "Little Orphan Annie." Comes with rarely seen 1.75x3" folder which opens to 3x3.5" four page booklet. Folder says "As We Told You Over The Radio This Ring Is Not Gold Or Gold Plated. It Is Made From A Special Metal. Each Ring Is Polished And The Finish Is Coated With Lacquer To Help Retain Its Brightness." The lacquer on the left front edge of this example darkened along the narrow metal edge with a trifle onto the side band on the left. Still about 90% of it retains the deep tone as originally issued. The booklet also explains how to use this "True Signet Ring" as a seal showing Annie's face. It explains how to use candle wax and how to create a seal on an envelope to create a unique seal that "Prints Her Name BACKWARDS!" Folder has numerous small creases and a couple tiny edge tears but remains extremely clean.
