ID assistance w/ Sterling "TSK" Brick Oven maker mark

Post by 2Andez »

I am looking for assistance in identifying a maker mark on a sterling silver mans ring. The piece is bi-metal with a hand chased background. It is marked on the interior of the band with a script "Sterling" and a "TSK" inscribed beehive or brick oven logo.
I am interested in learning the age, geographic origin and maker.

Thanx in advance for your time and interest.

That is a Native American/Navajo Hogan, not a brick oven. The ring is a Storyteller design. The mark is for Tom & Sue Kee.

ValkyrieVixen You rock, I love you. Thank you for the flash identification. I have been puzzling over this piece for years. I love that it is Navajo, better than a median between German craftsmanship and Mexico art. My parents visited the Res when I was a little boy.
