Hi Fred, Thanks for the info......

Hi Dennis,

these rings come in silver and gold color, only the original 6 teams were made in the mid to late 50's I believe. I have Canadiens and Leafs in gold + Canadiens, Red Wings and Rangers in silver.

There is another serie issued around the same time with white, yellow, green and red colors. Not sure about the maker and distribution but I always thought they came in "gum machine" type of thing. I never saw any advertising for them. Note that the Black Hawks is with the older circular logo for these 2 sets.

There is a third version issued later around 1970, they are a little bigger, the plastic is more flexible and the Black Hawks logo is the indian head only.

Fred

Looks like a gumball ring to me.
