Radio, TV and Comics Character rings have always fascinated me. They just look so good and common ones can be found relatively cheaply. The hobby also includes some of the most valuable comic character collectables in the world. Needless, to say, I don't have any of those!
Awhile back I blogged a collection box I saw on Worthpoint and today I had a crack at replicating - sort of - the box with one of my own ensembles. A bit of ring fun, mine includes home-made stuff and family heirlooms (none valuable) to make up the general look. See what you think.

My attempt at a similar look
Here's another shot of all my toy rings minus the heirlooms. My favourite is the green Superman Kryptonite ring - second column left, bottom one - which Santa delivered last Christmas.
Back in the late 60s I had a heavy ring that I wore as I was (for some odd reason lol) of The Mighty Hercules series. The one with Johnny Nash's theme song. Must have been when we lived on Vernon Lane in Lafayette Indiana as it was forgotten about when we moved to Kalamazoo Michigan.
ReplyDeleteI also have the same Legion Flight Ring you have next to the Green Lantern ring.
A quick question: The ring in the upper right, the signal ring with the spinning white plastic disc, what year is it from? Does it have any identifying marks to indicate who manufactured it?
Wow, I know that Hercules ring Lance, it's in my guide and values book pictured on its card. Fabulous. When you say the ring with the spinning white disc, do you mean the one with holes in the top? If so I made that one. It's a basic copy of a design used by lots of companies going way back. The one I remember was Bazooka Joes whistle ring. Which one do you recall? I can look it up in my guide book for a date.
DeleteYeah, the white with holes in the upper right. I was asking as I've two examples of spaceships I cannot identify yet andf they each have the whistle disc on the backend. I'll send pics shortly.
DeleteFascinating Lance!
