The above items are in my personal collection. I would be willing to sell them, although it is likely that prices have changed since 1991.
I am also interested in buying your old-time radio premiums. If you have any decoders, rings, books, or other premiums,
Radio Orphan Annie was the first kids' program to last more than a few seasons. Like all others of the 1930 vintage, it was syndicated on a regional basis, but was unique in that Ovaltine was the sponsor everywhere the show aired. As a result, there was an eastern cast in Chicago and a western cast in Lost Angesles, until 1933 when the program went network. During this period, premiums were offered at different times and in different versions.
In 1934 the number of premiums accelerated as the hard-luck waif convinced kids into drinking more and more Ovaltime. The radio show was quite a departure from the comic strip. Annie stuck more to kids her own age and Daddy Warbucks was conspicuous mainly by his absence from most episodes.
Ovaltine dropped Radio Orphan Annie in 1941 in favor of the more timely war hero, Captain Midnight. Annie was picked up by Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice Sparkles. But by the end of 1942, it was all over and Radio Orphan Annie left the air.
