One of the greatest toy ring premiums of the 1950s was the
Crazy Ring Set sponsored by the Quaker Oats Company. For only 25 cents, the lucky recipient received a total of 10 crazy rings, one for each finger, including a
siren ring,
pencil sharpener ring, 2
dexterity puzzle rings,
squirt ring,
ship in-a-bottle ring,
whistle ring,
hand-shaking friendship ring,
jingle bell ring, and, amazingly, a
meteor ring that the ad attested
"contains an actual meteor piece from outer space" (mine is missing the stone, so I can't evaluate that claim).
Here's the original ad for the Crazy Ring Set:
And here are the rings:
