Hudson ring

hi all 

I picked up this ring at a swap meet earlier this year and I haven’t been able to find anything out about it 
I was wondering if anyone knows much about them 

when were they made?
and  why ??

thanks
John

    That’s really cool!
  • What kind of metal? Is it brass? It looks pretty hefty.

    I think if you look hard enough into it you will see the new 2021 Hornet!  A view into a parallel world where the Big Four are Hudson, Studebaker, Packard and Nash.  GM Ford went under in the late 50s after building cars no one wanted.  Chrysler is still holding on but barely after dating Mercedes Benz and Fiat, but is now owned by Subaru.

    I looked up”who owns Chrysler?” It says that it is owned by Fiat. Where did you see that Subaru owned them? Is this recent?
  • That's a parallel universe I'd like to visit.?

    I think it’s made of copper and has a adjustable band

    possibly a child’s toy?

    Wow 
    I guess I need to give it a polish and look into it deeper

    maybe I can see the drag pack version of the 2021
    Its called the Murder Hornet
    it’s only available in black and yellow


  • Wow, if that Murder Hornet can outrun a Demon, sign me up! :D

    Got to be careful of the Superbee!

    I think the Murder Hornet is running a DOHC 7.5L I6, with twin turbos

    Yes....Picturing it now.... B)
  • Would you like to sell your ring ?
  • Thank you for the interest in my ring 

    at this time I don’t think I want to get rid of it 

    I was hoping that someone would be able to give a little history about them 

    I was only able to find one ether one on eBay as a set of 3 rings for $100
    (sold) but there was no history

  • Back on eBay at a much more reasonable price (not mine)
