A Rare Jostens 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX Championship Salesman Sample Ring Crafted to William "The Refrigerator" Perry's Size
The 1985 season stands as one of the most memorable campaigns in professional football history. The Chicago Bears, powered by a defense widely considered among the finest ever assembled, dominated the league from start to finish. Their year culminated in a decisive 46–10 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX, securing the franchise’s place in championship lore.
Rookie William “The Refrigerator” Perry added an unexpected chapter to the story. Primarily a defensive lineman, Perry was famously utilized in short-yardage situations on offense, where his touchdowns captured national attention and made him one of the season’s most talked-about figures.
Presented here is a scarce Jostens salesman’s sample of the championship ring crafted to Perry’s size. The substantial size 23 ring is fashioned in 10-karat gold, weighing approximately 30.74 pennyweights, and features an array of diamond simulants. Salesman’s samples of this caliber seldom surface, particularly examples produced to the proportions of one of the most iconic figures in Bears history.
As such, this offering represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors — a rare chance to acquire a tangible connection to one of the NFL’s most dominant and storied champions.
This lot is located in Chicago.
