(Universal, 1994) Brass ring with ruby setting, worn by Alec Bladwin as The Shadow. This is the key prop in the film, as it represents the source of the Shadow's powers. From the pulp story, The Red Blot by Maxwell Grant (Walter B. Gibson), dated June 1, 1933:

"…the token which was the positive symbol of The Shadow. This mark was a gleaming gem which shone from the third finger of the left hand. It was The Shadow's girasol, a rare fire opal, unmatched in all the world…From the girasol came splashes of fiery light, like the glimmer of living sparks. A dying ember, ever emitting its final darts of minute flame - such was The Shadow's girasol."

This ring originally came from the Great American Ring Club, who acquired the license to produce a limited edition replica of the Shadow's ring in 1993/94. This particular ring was given to the Club by the producers of the film to use as the model for the limited replicas. A copy of a letter by the president of the Great American Ring Club is included as provenance. Some aging, but a thorough polishing will enliven the ring's luster. In fine condition.
