Droog Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think Cleo isn't the ticket given their photography. The best thing I could find is that it was part of the Bradford Exchange, which matches a lot of their product photography. When I reached out to them though they denied ever carrying the ring so I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beyond Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I think I remember seeing that ring in some Ford Catalogue a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonite Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Might have been the Danbury Mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I spent some time searching on-line for it last night.....no luck. There were some other Shelby / Cobra rings, but nothing quite as nice or classy. Z-man Edited May 3, 2014 by Z-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I take this to mean the photo is pretty much unique today. PS: What is/are FAI stripes? Edited May 3, 2014 by Frank S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 PS: What is/are FAI stripes? Those are the orange stripe across the hood and fenders or my car. They were used back in the 60's on the Cobra's that raced internationally. The FAI was the race governing body in France. Z-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droog Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I actually came here to specifically say I found a lead that the Franklin Mint might have made it, and looks like that lead is confirmed. If you COULD provide the item number that would be great. Did they actually take your money? Did they refund it? I think it's pretty safe to say we're not going to get one but at least I can confirm with them that they made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-man Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I guess that was before the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile came into being? Nope, they are one in the same. I just typed it wrong. It should be FIA, not FAI. Thanks for noticing. I'll have to fix that in my signature. Z-mna (sic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this ring, it's new in the box. It was made by Franklin Mint and sold by SAI a few years back. They're no longer available and super difficult to find. Men's size 8. PM if interested. AK.

Droog Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 And I just received it. I wish I was a better photographer because pictures really don't do it justice. It's real sharp and defined in person, and not as "superbowl ring" as I feared it would be. Thanks to AK for parting with it, my long hunt is now over.

fadertrader Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I am now looking for another beautiful Franklin Mint Shelby Cobra ring (as mine has been lost)...preferably size 9-9 1/2. I am willing to pay a hefty premium for one. Thanks, Brian Fader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Jerome Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Glad I picked one up when they were available. Don't wear much jewelry, but definitely bust this out when I head to a car show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
