    Description

    Welcome!
    I'm offering for your consideration a fabulous old pin going back to the early part of the 1900s, probably Fred Harvey era but better quality than most of that, with great hand stamping on each area of the silver, a round floral stamp and a long leaf like or feather like stamp on each segment of the 11 segments on top and on bottom, but the center segments, top and bottom, both have two flowers stamped, while the others have one.  There are eight turquoise stones that appear to be Cerrillos turquoise and five are rounded on top and two are flush on top. Each round stone is about 3/16" in diameter. The silver segments are above and below the turquoise with two silver segments along side on each end, so the piece looks cinched in the center. Quite a beautiful pin that would have been used as a Manta pin.
    The length is 2-1/2" and the height at the center is 7/8", narrowing to 1/2"at the ends. The weight is 11 grams. This pin is not signed by the artist but there are three scratched initials that look like TCA. It is stamped Sterling.  It has a locking clasp mechanism. Condition is terrific vintage and collectible. It's in great shape. Lovely stamping in a gorgeous unusual stamped design. You won't find this great piece in the mass production of the Fred Harvey era!

    Take a look at my store.
    Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.
    I request payment by PayPal in two days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can generally be arranged.
    I generally ship same day. Domestic: FREE expedited US shipping. I’m including insurance on all my shipments till the PO resumes full functionality.
    International buyers pay actual shipping cost if I’m shipping myself rather than using eBay’s Global Shipping service, and International buyers are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. Please discuss changing shipping method prior to purchase. My shipping defaults to Express International, which is tracked and insured, but I can use Priority Mail International. It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I charge the actual shipping cost and since shipping to each country costs a different amount, I will charge a little extra and refund the exact difference once I can put your address in and print a shipping label. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China, but can make exceptions if you speak with me about it, especially if you are a prior customer.
    Returns will be accepted for 30 days after your receipt for any reason and without question. Please let me know if you would like to return something. Returns must be in the same condition they were shipped. If I make a significant mistake in a listing I'll always give you a full refund. The 20% restocking fee does not apply when the mistake is mine. I care that you're happy and about my accuracy, and will always stand behind my work. My attributions are guaranteed for my lifetime.
    When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
    Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
    Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you're starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift. My goal is that all my buyers are delighted, that my special pieces find the right homes.
