Right after World War II, America entered into the Atomic Age. So
what kid wouldn’t be thrilled with carrying around his own nuclear device?
Fortunately, with 10¢ and a Cheerios box top, the Lone Ranger would set you up with one.
And what a beauty it is: Aluminum warhead, bombardier’s insignia, secret message
compartment in the tail fin, a 4-pronged removable tail fin that shows atoms smashing
inside the ring (magnified Radium) when exposed in a dark room, and a base with gem stone
inserts and gold plated lightning bolts. Even though there were parental concerns about a
radioactive ring, it lasted as a premium into the 1950s, with over 1,000,000 produced. Of
course, the ring was completely safe, but everyone was sketchy about radiation at the
beginning of the Atomic Age.
SKY KINGS MYSTERY PICTURE RING (1940s)
Sky King was America’s favorite flying cowboy
when the radio show first aired in 1946. The show was even capable of making the
successful switch to television in the early ‘50s. By sending in the metal round disc
from inside a jar of Peter Pan Peanut Butter and 15¢, fans of the cowboy’s aerial
exploits could celebrate their loyalty with a ring that not only glows in the dark, but
also offers a changing picture of Sky King, sends secret messages and codes notes,
provides a secret compartment, and has a built in stamp. Can you imagine any child not
being thrilled with strapping this cowboy onto his finger?
