OLD PAWN NAVAJO SILVER & TURQUOISE 'snake eyes"ROW & CLUSTER CUFF BRACELET-NR

Description

I AM OFFERING AN EXCEPTIONAL OLD PAWN TURQUOISE AND SILVER "snake eyes" BRACELET THAT IS AN UNUSUAL COMBINATION OF A ROW AND CLUSTER DESIGN.
I PURCHASED IT IN THE MID SEVENTIES FROM MAURY RESNICK WHO OWNED THE ICONIC JEWEL BOX PAWN SHOP IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX. HE WAS ALSO A MAJOR BUYER FROM THE C.G. WALLACE COLLECTION.
THE NUMEROUS RAISED STONES ARE SECURELY SET IN PLAIN SILVER SETTINGS.
THERE ARE 6  ROWS ACROSS THE FRONT TOP AND FOUR ROWS DOWN  OF ROUND CUT TURQUOISE.
THE TOP SIDES ARE ROUND CLUSTER DESIGNS CONSISTING OF 8 STONES AROUND A LARGER TURQUOISE CENTER.
THE BRACELET IS ABOUT ONE INCH IN HEIGHT IN THE CENTER . IT IS BACKED BY THREE PARALLEL SILVER BANDS WHICH GRADUALLY  TAPER TO THE ENDS.
IT WEIGHS 1.3 OUNCES.
THE INSIDE MEASUREMENT FROM END TO END IS ABOUT 5-1/4 INCHES AND THE GAP OR OPENING IS ABOUT 1-1/8 INCHES.
THE SILVER IS UNMARKED AS TYPICAL OF THE EARLIER NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY BUT TESTS AS COIN OR BETTER.
THE UNPOLISHED SILVER HAS A GREAT PATINA WHICH INDICATES EVIDENCE OF THE BRACELET'S  AGE AND USE.
I HAVE ENJOYED COLLECTING  NATIVE AMERICAN AND TAXCO SILVER JEWELRY FOR OVER FORTY YEARS BUT AM NOW DOWNSIZING AND SELLING MANY OF MY PRIZED FINDS.
THE BRACELET IS IN GOOD  UNPOLISHED CONDITION WITH SUBTLE INDICATIONS TO BE EXPECTED FROM  AGE AND USE.
IT IS A QUALITY NATIVE AMERICAN WORK OF ART AND ALTHOUGH UNSIGNED IT WAS OBVIOUSLY MADE BY A MASTER NAVAJO CRAFTSMAN.
IT WOULD BE AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDITION TO ANY NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY COLLECTION.
USPS SHIPPING  IN THE CONTINENTAL USA WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION  IS FREE.
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.
PAYMENT IS DUE AND EXPECTED WITHIN 2 DAYS  OF THE WINNING BID.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
