brass ring
The Brass Ring was originally a game reward or prize related to riding a carousel. Most carousels did not have "jumpers" - animals which move up and down as the carousel spins - The outer row animals were still/fixed. Many riders of carousels tended to ignore the outer rows in favor of the jumping animals. In order to encourage more riders to sit on the outer rows, someone devised the ring game and it became a common fixture of the carousel. The object of the game was simple. A rider sits on the outer row and when the carousel spins around, the rider reaches out and grabs one of the metal rings from the dispenser. Since not all the rings were brass - typically one brass ring per ride among many non-brass rings - getting the brass ring was a special treat. The brass ring usually entitled the holder to a free ride when they returned the brass ring to the attendant. Or could be kept as a good luck charm, memento, etc. It's important to note that in their heyday, most carousels were pay-to-ride amusements. Back when a couple pennies, a nickel or a dime was still significant change, a free ride on the carousel would seem much more relevant. Therefore, to get the elusive brass ring was to win a notable prize equated with fun, gratification, fulfillment, etc.

My order was delivered very quickly and was high quality. Glad to add it to my mug shelf.
God is still alive. The existence of this mug shows there is still faith that god is dead and is listening to us. God Bless,
Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
