1950s Cracker Jack ROBOT Squares Ring WEIRD

Estimated Value: $12.00 You are buying ONE of these great vintage rings. The weird cut-out rings of the period became popular with Cracker Jack and this is no exception. I have been doing some research and even called an old friend who used to work on designs and toys and such and here is what he said: "Basically this was just a square design that kids began calling the "Robot" ring. We never really saw that until the ring went home with me for my daughter. A few days later she said that her brother had taken her Robot ring. I had to ask what she was talking about!? Well, it was the ring I gave her and her brother thought it was a cool Robot. Leave it to the mind of a child!". I have just a few of these and I found some collector sites that discuss this ring. I have just the silver design. This design was in the COSI (Center of Science and Industry) Collection prior to it being removed a few years back. Marked HONG KONG. Did you know that before Borden sold the brand in the 1990's, Cracker Jack was headquartered here in Columbus?! I had the great opportunity to grab old CJ items when I attended a warehouse disposal with my asset brokering company. This design and the Peace designs were very hard to find in boxes compared to the other metal rings of the period. Same company made these types for gum machines too. Difference is the HONG KONG stampings inside the loop. Open adjustable ring sizer. Made for kids.
