[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8439204, member: 2844"]The style looks like an old Plains-inspired style, rather than the usual Spanish-inspired concha style. Both styles were used by SW silversmiths in the past. Yes, that is the real Emerson Billy, also known as Emerson Bill. I see no relation between this style and his, or between the marks. Confusing indeed. [USER=255]@reader[/USER] has the Bille Hougart book mentioned in the listing, maybe she can check. My Barton Wright book has 4 different marks for Emerson Bill/Emerson Billy (Navajo), but Whit's mark is not among them, nor is the bat mark. Stylewise his jewellery is intricate, using an overlay style. It is different from Hopi overlay, and it uses recognizable Navajo motifs that are also used in stampwork.[/QUOTE]
