Navajo Silver Cuff Bracelet Mystery mark

Postby StrawIntoGold » Fri Jan 25, 2008 3:25 pm

HI, wondering if anyone knows this mark? It is a Yardsale find cuff bracelet. Any idea if it's silver? Sure looks and feels like it is.

Thanks so much,
CDC

Don't know if it's silver.
The mark is used by the Navajo Arts & Crafts Enterprises.

I can't think of any reason to doubt that it is silver, until the 1960s or so it was very common to find no indication of silver content on Navajo work.
