When the red stone Buck Rogers Ring of Saturn isn't!

Many radio premium collectors soon learn about the three similar 1940's plastic glow-in-the-dark rings & which of the radio characters were associated with each color stone:
- Green stone- Jack Armstrong Dragon's Eye Ring (1940 Wheaties radio premium)
- Black stone- Shadow Carey Salt Ring (1945 radio premium)
- Red stone- Buck Rogers Ring of Saturn (1946 Post's Corn Toasties radio premium)
But how many know there is a translucent red stone variation on the last? This ring is not associated with Buck Rogers, or any character, but was offered as a premium by Powerhouse Candy during the 1940s.Labels: buck rogers, jack armstrong, powerhouse candy, radio premium, the shadow, toy rings
