This is my collection and notes on the 1967 Cereal Toy Rings by Rosenhain and Lippman (R&L). I’ve included cereal toy rings from the 1967 series of Wiggle (Flicker) rings and my one Melbourne Demons 1970 Australian Rules Football ring.
Referencing page 143 of Craig Halls’ book, Breakfast Barons, Cereal Critters and the Rosenhain & Lipmann Legacy, the Kelloggs Wiggle Rings were found in Coco Pops, Sugar Frosties, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks cereals. The earlier issues of rings and pendants were in Weeties packets in 1960. Ref page 122, Breakfast Barons, Cereal Critters and the Rosenhain & Lipmann Legacy.
There are four ring styles which for my own reference I have nominated as Types 1 to 4 and they were in one of 4 colours, namely Red, Blue, Green, and Orange. You can see the details of the four types in my Cereal Toy Ring Types page.
Vari-vu lenticular inserts gave the special changing pictures that were inserted in the rings. I’ve numbered a listing of the inserts that are known and detailed in Craigs book.
I've tried to capture the different angles or views of the rock drummer in these two pictures. The ring base is style 2.
The Rock Drummer is one of 27 different images that have been sighted in R&L ring bases. Although only 20 were nominated on the cereal boxes.
