Native American Hallmark on bracelet TY

Post by nancyd8557 »

Hello, I bought a bracelet with the hallmark TY. It was advertised as Tommy Singer, but it looks more like Tom Hawk's work to me. Does anyone know about this hallmark?

Hello and welcome.

Tommy Singer used many different marks, but I don't think that is one of them.
Not familiar with Tom Hawks.

Barton Wright's book shows this TY mark for Navajo silversmith Tim Yazzie.

Thanks a lot? I guess I need to invest in a book!

I've got a similar looking bracelet with TY inscribed on it. Did you find out what the initials stand for?

This appears to most likely be Tim Yazzie, Navajo
