While researching this item I found this information: "Very large ring that has the words "Tallest Married Couple on Earth" in raised letters on the front. "Giant Rings" like this one were promoted as being "the right size for the giant to wear". The ring is approx. a size 25. The ring is made of base metals such as lead and tin. Condition is very good for its age with no cracks or missing metal. There is a small dent on the face from molding not damage.

They toured with various circuses including Ringling Bros. and were once billed as Mr & Mrs Long. They stayed in show business until 1949 when they retired.
