with prominent, well-funded collectors in California and Hong Kong paying the big $$$$ for the prime condition Ring-Masters, what's a poor man supposed to do??
I am proud to have purchased this one - - -
- no yellow booklet
- no box
- no leaflet
- re-set not working
- broken crystal
- badly chipped paint
but as they say in the collecting game, "condition only matters on the second one". This is my first Ring-Master . . . so for now, it is the best one in my collection . . . and I am happy to have it!

: Jeff,
: after few more pestering but necessary emails
: to the seller, he finally confirmed your
: initial doubt regarding the 'Yellow'
: booklet. This particular Ring Master is
: missing the essential yellow instruction
: booklet. So in term of it being the finest
: known to man, quality wise, may be maybe
: not, who can be certain. In term of
: completeness, well, this Ring Master is
: missing a rather important piece. So, with
: great reluctance, I abdicate the throne of
: owning the 'finest' Ring Master back to Mr.
: Nichols. The hunt for the prize
: continues.....
