That "pulp Alley" skull ring was pretty nice, but here's the skull ring to have.

Why?

The mark it leaves on your victim's faces

Uh, so…………………………………………….I guess it is now, no longer a "secret" ring, but really a more ordinary, skull-type ring.

Looks good though.

You guys really don't know the significance of the number 5?

#5???
Skull #5…best preserved skull on record
Skull with #5---Jewish Rabbis permutation number
I don't know--the 5th selected "Phantom" from Sunday comics

It is a deeply felt tribute to the FOX TV show:

Looks like Jimmy Christopher might be in our presence.

Not everybody reads old pulps…

When I was at physical therapy today, one of the kids (in his 20's) had never seen Wizard of Oz…

The Five on the ring obviously means the wearer gets Five free whacks before the other guy gets his turn to whack back.

>>I don't know--the 5th selected "Phantom" from Sunday comics<<

The ghost who walks" wears an entirely different skull ring with no number on it.

>>Looks like Jimmy Christopher might be in our presence.<<

pvi99th knows the secret. Otherwise, it's still a mystery.

All I gotta say is "Purple Invasion".

Coelacanth01 Dec 2015 10:45 p.m. PST

Is this from the 1943 Batman serial?

Roderick is in on the secret. He mentioned the "Purple Invasion"

>>Is this from the 1943 Batman serial?<<

No. But you now have two clues. Jimmy Christopher and "Purple Invasion".

OK. Now that I've been sprung from the Big House I can give youse guys the lowdown.

The ring in question was worn by a G-man named Jimmy Christopher aka Operator 5 who led the fight against foreigners out to destroy America!

This has me wondering does anyone make a copy of the ring of power complete with elvish writing.

tberry740303 Dec 2015 2:10 p.m. PST

Sauron? grin
