Here’s an eye-catching assortment of Native American necklaces (TEH 174, 192, and 201 thru 210) from the estate of the late Chester Howard. As founder of the Colorado Mineral Society in the 1930s, one shouldn’t be surprised that Howard would identify at least a few of the turquoise varieties that make up the beads in these strands: Red Mountain, Ruffan Mine, McGinnis Big Blue, and Pilot Mountain. In addition to turquoise, the beads in the necklaces include: shell, pipestone, varieties of glass, ...click for details

From the fine collection of the late Billy Branch, this middle-20th century pawn silver bracelet (BB80) has a huge, irregularly shaped, spider-webbed turquoise slab that was identified by the late owner as ‘Bisbee Cloud’ turquoise. In a shadow-box setting, centered on four bars with scattered bars of silver shot, and highlighted with feather appliques on either side, the bracelet is unsigned but believed to be of either Navajo or Zuni origin. The greatest dimension of the turquoise is 1 7/8”. Th ...click for details

Dating into the latter part of the mid-20th century, this 5 1/8” tall silver kachina bola slide (BB199) is from the estate of the late Billy Branch of Denver. Unstamped, but nicely detailed and inset with deep sky-blue turquoise cabs, the slide is in excellent condition and was noted by Branch to be ‘dead pawn’. Although the braided leather string tie shows obvious wear and would probably be best replaced, the long silver cones at its ends are in very good condition and tipped with decorated, tw ...click for details
