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,
"Sky King," the flying rancher/detective, first aired in the fall of 1946 as a 15 minute adventure serial over ABC. Sky King (Sky was short for Skyler) was joined by Penny and Clipper, Jim Bell and Martha, and his two airplanes, the Songbird and the Flying Arrow. His magnificent horse Yellow Fury was corralled at the sprawling Flying Crown Rance, which had a fully equipped airfield.
Sky King had a relatively short span on radio, ending in 1954, but issued some of the era's most innovative premiums. The announcer was Mike Wallace, who later became a newsman and host of 60 Minutes.
