The Ted Williams Baseball Action
Ring was made available as a premium by
Nabisco in 1948; by mailing in a coupon
with .15 cents, and one box top from
Nabisco Shredded Wheat. The ring is a
gold-color metal with anti-tarnish
finish, and has a plastic batter at the
top. "It Really works....the batter
swings with real World Series form!" A
tab on the base allows the figure to
swing the bat when the tab is turned.
The side of the ring has a crossed bats
and ball raised relief below the Ted
Williams autograph.
The top of the ad reads "GET A TED WILLIAMS RING
QUICK!"
with "Boys" on the left & "Girls" on
the right. The ad illustrates a boy
with a bat & Glove, jumping with joy
with the caption "GEE TED, IT S SWELL
THE WAY THE BATTER SWATS THE BALL!" ted
depicted to the right responds "NABISCO
SHREDDED WHEAT HAS ONE OF MY RINGS FOR
YOU TOO... BUT HURRY !" A box of
Nabisco Shredded Wheat is pictured to
the right of Ted followed by a green
box with a description of the ring and
how to get it. Below that is the coupon
to send in for the ring. To the left is
a comic strip "HIS NIBS" by Roland Coe,
an influential cartoonist most famous
for his cub scouts cartoons in The
Saturday Evening post.
Towards the end of the year in 1948, a second ad appeared in the
newspapers (pictured below) which at
the top reads; "Hurry Kids! LAST CHANCE
TO GET TED WILLIAMS' BASEBALL RING!" It
is otherwise close to identical to the
first ad but has a offer "Expires
December 1, 1948" at the bottom of the
coupon. More pictures and information
on the
1948 Ted Williams Nabisco Baseball
Action Ring can be found here.
