Under the guidance of player-manager Bill Terry, the 1933 New York Giants began a new era in auspicious fashion. Terry had taken the reigns from John McGraw during the previous season, ending the Harlem managerial fixture's 31-year run at the helm. With Terry directing the troops, the Giants captured the National League flag—and proceeded to secure a Fall Classic title over the Washington Senators. Offered here is a one-of-a-kind, gorgeous championship accessory: the 1933 World Series ring that was issued to rookie right handed pitcher Jack Salveson. Expertly crafted by New York's Lambert Bros., this 14-karat gold band (size 10) flaunts ornately designed shanks, both of which feature baseball-themed engravings and banners that respectively denote "NEW YORK" and "GIANTS." The symmetrically arranged facing has a genuine diamond protruding from the center of a black stone around which, "WORLD'S CHAMPIONS - 1933" appears in raised characters. Within the band, "JACK SALVESON" is engraved in upper-case characters. Albeit well worn, this Polo Grounds keepsake has retained its lustrous qualities.
Includes letter from Levine Distributing Company, the original seller of the ring.
