El Head Bosco Mug (1937)
A giveaway at movie theatres that showed the Richard Dix film, Devil of the West. 5000 were made and distributed, little over a hundred remain in good condition.
A premium item by the Lone Ranger radio show 1933.There were two versions of the Mug, one for two weeks each during the course of the month long storyline. 5 Ovaltine coupons were required to get the mugs.
El Head Quaker Oats Bowl (1945)
Premium Giveaway with 10 Quaker Oats Box tops to promote Eagle-Lion Studio's El Head movie serial, Phantom Head of the West. The Serial was unfortunately never finished and so never released. The 2500 manufactured bowls were distributed as straight cereal premiums with some 800 being distributed in the United States. The rest were donated to Japanese War Orphans. This is one of the root causes of the El Head mania that swept Japan in the Sixties and Seventies. For more on the Japanese obsession with the El Head character read the article El Head, Western Character Conquers the East, Esquire Magazine April 1981.
This particular Ring was used as a premium during the El Head storyline on the Zorro Radio program.
It was used as as the template for the sixties El Head Ring pictured below which was a premium giveaway tie-in to the first Lancaster El Head film, A Price on the Head
