The above items are in my personal collection. I would be willing to sell them, although it is likely that prices have changed since 1991.
I am also interested in buying your old-time radio premiums. If you have any decoders, rings, books, or other premiums,
Tom Mix began on radio in 1933 as a fifteen-minute, daily serial on the NBC Blue network. It was one of the longest running kids programs, lasting until 1950 when it was being broadcast as a weekly half hour show. It was also one of the largest producers of premiums in radio history.
Ralston of Checkerboard Square was the sponsor during the entire seventeen year run. During that time, they offered large variety of books, photos, hats, spurs, coins, rings, masks, charms, ropes, shirts, watches, pens, badges, telescopes, knives, and of course, decoders.
