Description :

Orphan Annie Secret Society Member Decoders & Bracelet – 1939 &1940.

Wonderful decoders, partial bracelet, and membership booklet/info for the fabulously popular radio show Orphan Annie that began in 1930. Encrypted messages were included in the program and Society Members could use their member decoders to figure them out.

This lot includes the 1939 decoder with lettering/coding on the front as well as the 1940 membership pin/decoder which is emblazoned with the eagle and flag on the front and individualized serial number on the back (letters and numbers on the rim of the pin). There is also a bracelet face with the letter “H” our client purchased from the Society. On the verso is the individual ID number of the bracelet. Included in addition is the publication that came when someone joined the Society. Note: this 1940 pin is very hard to find as the program switched sponsors this year.
