Description: The Fred Harvey era refers to Native Jewelry items made in the early 1950s back to around the turn of the last century. Mostly they were sold to tourists on the railroads and later, the highways. This one was made from sterling silver ingots melted down (as is evident in the slight porousness/grainy silver look on the back side and the heftier weight of the shanks). This great old bracelet features hand stamp work. Tested positive as Sterling (.925).  

Maker: Most likely Navajo made, but there is no maker's mark (as was most Native jewelry from this era).  

Approx Age: Vintage (Circa 1930s - 1950's).

Size: Inside circumference measures 5 1/2 inches plus there is a 1 1/8 inch gap (making it fit an approx. 6 5/8" wrist). It is 1 inch across at it's widest point. Weighs 42.3g

Condition: Vintage, good for it's age, normal wear expected.
