1941 Lone Ranger Silver Bullet Defender Leaflet & Bullet

Very scarce excellent condition bullet with the Lone Ranger’s National Defenders pledge revealing the law of the silver bullet and instructions on how to use the silver bullet that was plated with pure silver. 

The law states “I’m a symbol of confidence, patriotism and loyalty.”  My owner (the holder of the bullet) must “live only in such a way as to set an example for younger members and to be a credit to Home, Community and Country.” 

In today’s world, it would be difficult for society to accept the passing out of bullets for the encouragement of proper behavior.  This piece is a great example of the tremendous role that Westerns played in shaping a child’s beliefs and value systems.
