Ih Turquoise Coin Silver Row Bracelet 14.5 Gms Fred Harvey 1930's Tucson Estate

  

From a forgotten box in my office closet (and a Tucson estate over twenty years ago) is this 1930's or so IH marked coin silver row bracelet showing silver drop and distinctive twisted wire embellishment and three nice snake eye turquoise sets. The ninety plus year old former owner had a number of Pueblo and other Southwestern bracelets she wore about in groupings - two decades later I've finally gotten to these, and plan on offering a number of them separately. In this case a decidedly prewar aesthetic provides every bit of "the look" you want, being originally meant to attract what was almost certainly a period "Indian Detour" visitor clientele. The deeply struck "IH / COIN SILVER" is a referenced 1930's Maisel's marking, so definitively from the Fred Harvey era and years of the Great Depression.

Maisel employed this mark well before commissioning John Gaw Meem to design his well known Albuquerque trading post in 1937 (completed in 1939). Weight is good for the form at about 14.5 grams on my portable digital scale.

Condition is quite fine with a nice aura of time to the silver surfaces as seen in the pics. I have avoided any urge to clean, and personally feel you should too. The turquoise sets are present and well preserved.

Typical and expected evidence of previous service simply validates the history. A look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition - an obviously vintage bracelet that will look great worn about in Santa Fe or wherever you live. Inner circumference is about 5 5/8 in. I don't know what else to say, so there you are.
